Getting away with murder

Book 9 of the Benny Cooperman Series

by Howard Engel

Benny is, as always, desperate for paying work, but he flatly refuses an invitation to work for Grantham’s most notorious crime boss. But Benny doesn’t have much of a choice when Abram Wise has him kidnapped in the middle of the night and makes him an ultimatum: either Benny takes the case, or his parents and girlfriend may run into some very bad luck. This mobster’s got a long list of enemies in town, but which one is out to kill him?
