Just finished Escape from Five Shadows and can’t remember what happens to Frank Renda at the end. Don’t spoil it, I’ll go back and look. He got his finger twisted in the trigger guard and then I draw a blank. Another great story though. Looking forward to reading Forty Lashes Less One next.
Anyway, before that I read Gold Coast and was captivated by another great villian, he of the famous villian family the Crowes. This time it was Roland Crowe stealing all the scenes. Trying to remember which Crowe it was that so capably graced the pages of Maximum Bob. Was it Elvin Crowe? What relation was he to Roland?
I can think of two other Crowes as well, both from Maximum Bob, but can’t remember their names. One was this kid who gets in trouble at the beginning, and the other an old man (Elvin’s dad perhaps?) in a couple of scenes. Then there may have been mention of yet another Crowe, now deceased (Roland?) or still in jail. Can’t remember.
And I recall there being Crowes in The Moonshine War. No? Haven’t read that one yet.
