Reseña del libro "The Saint of Lake Topaz (en Inglés)"
Taking a detour on his way back to Vegas, Bull, one of Big Red Fortunato's right-hand men, visits his old army buddy, Sal Stark. Sal has bought a small casino in Lake Topaz, a small town off Route 66 in the Mojave desert.Upon arriving at the Lucky Lady, Bull is dismayed to discover that Sal has been severely beaten, apparently by local "businessmen" who want to claim the casino as their own. Further investigation reveals that the head of this organization, Jarret Hastings, is holding a group of little girls captive. One of the little girls, Susie, is rescued by Bull and believes him to be "The Saint of Lake Topaz" she's been praying for.Bull's hardened heart is unfrozen and he immediately calls his boss, Big Red, owner of the famous Starlight Club in Queens, to assist in taking down what is likely a human trafficking ring. But what Red and Bull, with the assistance of the usual players-Pissclam, Johnny Eight Fingers, Trenchie, and others-find out is that the kidnapping of young girls by Hastings is just the tip of the iceberg.In this 11th installment of the popular, multi-award-winning Starlight Club series, author Joe Corso takes us on a thrill ride through the little-traveled roads of Nevada desert in the 1960s, when the local law was often subject to interpretation!
