The Old Turk's Load

Gregory Gibson

4.9/5 (20155 ratings)

Description:Acclaimed writer Gregory Gibson offers a tight, fast, and funny debut crime novel set amid the Newark riots of 1967. When a load of high-octane heroin goes missing in the melee, criminals, cops, do-gooders, and lowlifes scramble to possess it. But the heroin has ideas of its own, leading its frantic pursuers on an increasingly deadly chase.Angelo DiNoto, a ruthless New Jersey crime boss, supplements his ill-gotten gains by importing blindingly pure artisanal smack produced by an old Turkish farmer. When a five million dollar shipment disappears, DiNoto can think of nothing better to do than go on a murderous rampage until he recovers it.Richard Mundi, in whose lap the drugs have landed, is a burned-out Manhattan real estate developer who plans to use the unexpected windfall as capital to revive his crumbling business empire. His gorgeous daughter, Gloria, in bed—literally—with a band of wannabe revolutionaries, sees the heroin as a way to escape her father’s looming presence and impress the woman she truly loves. “The Mailman” is a longtime postal clerk who has survived the worst that life has to offer—until throat cancer robs him of his voice and the will to live. To him, the drugs are a ticket to a better place. Topping off the cast is Walkaway Kelly, a private eye and Hell’s Kitchen barfly who teeters continually on the brink of redemption.Stir in Kelly’s lovelorn sidekick, a pair of closeted gay hoodlums who work as DiNoto’s enforcers, Mundi’s conflicted protégé (a slab of muscle with a moral conscience who also serves as Gloria’s nanny), and you have an Elmore Leonard-esque cast of characters running rampant in a convincingly wrought historical setting.
