He was a gun for the Mafia, or the Mafiosi, or Costra Nostra,or the Brotherhood - call it anything you like, it was an organization that found an internal assassin useful, and Judas was useful. His real name was Jericho Jones, and Kansas City was his hometown. He'd been in prison. Now he had served his five-year term and he was just out free. And Candoli wanted to see him at once. If you read the newspapers you know that Candoli was the reformed' racket boss in Chicago, a man who got a lot of good publicity from the press by his acts of charity, a man who got a cut of every piece of crime profit squeezed from the city. But, lately - the word was around - Candoli was slipping; there were internal family troubles. And Candoli was a sick man, Judas saw that at once, when they met in the old man's Chicago apartment. Candoli offered Judas a job. I want you on this job,' he said, because you've proved you can be trusted and you work alone.' Judas said, Maybe I'm not ready to carry a gun for you. Maybe I'm not going to carry one at all anymore, Right now I want to eat a decent meal, sleep with a woman, and get drunk.' But Candoli got his way. He usually did. Judas wound up in Kansas City, trying to find out about Johnny-Candoli's son and heir. It was a rough search-rough and deadly dangerous. There were a lot of people in Kansas City who didn't want Judas to find out anything, not about Johnny, and not too much about Peggy Allen-who'd been the old man's property before she attracted his son's attention. Or about the other girls, and the men around them-dying men, deadly men, and dead men. E. RICHARD JOHNSON has won himself a host of readers across the country and around the world. This powerful story should win him many more. From the Publisher. . *Service 24/7.
