Angie’s Admirer, January 19, 2012
[dcs_p]Angie’s got an old gent making eyes at her. He’s a new member of the Delray Beach Preservation Trust, and he’s a rich widower … or so he tells her. Victor thinks he’s a con, but he’s more protective of my wife than I am.[/dcs_p]Anyway, Angie’s flattered by his attention. She gets flowers once a week, and every now and then she meets the old guy at Poppies for breakfast. He seems harmless enough, and I don’t mind that my wife has an admirer. “Just as long as he doesn’t cross the line,” I tell her. Remembering what happened to the last man who put the make on her, Angie gets flustered and gives me an icy look. “You wouldn’t dare,” she says.
[/dcs_p]Angie’s Admirer is told from the point of view of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Bellomo’s mafia thrillers include Louie Morelli’s Daughter and Stella di Mare. Books available at Amazon.com, B&N, and on all ereaders.
