Friday Night Money
Here's your book description, written to D2D's rules and calibrated to sell the novel:Rochester, New York. Summer, 1962. Frank Salerno runs a small bookie operation out of Kodak Park - nothing dramatic, just a Friday envelope that moves quietly through the right hands. He's done it for six years without a problem. Then the envelope disappears. The collector, Tommy Carbone, never makes his delivery.
Eighty thousand dollars vanishes somewhere between the factory parking lot and the marina. And Frank - who handed over the money and went back to his shift like any other Friday - suddenly finds himself answering to the mob, the police, and eleven nervous men who want to know where their money went. The trouble is, Frank didn't take it. And nobody believes him yet. Set against the factories, waterfront bars, and summer neighborhoods of a city at its industrial peak, Friday Night Money is a crime novel in the tradition of Elmore Leonard - tightly plotted, darkly comic, and built around characters who are funnier and more human than they have any right to be.
A toolmaker who thinks in tolerances. A mob captain who watches bowling on Saturday afternoons with genuine investment. A waitress who hears everything and says almost nothing. And a collector sitting above a bait shop in Charlotte, eating his forty-first hamburger, running plans that keep failing their own examination. Nobody here is entirely what they appear. The money will come back. The question is what it costs to return it.
