Crusher's Funeral

"We're not happy to be here. You see, we work homicide. Crime scenes and dead people. Not some goddamn blackmail scavenger hunt," Detective Grant Briggs said. "I've got cases backed up. Murders that need solving. Instead, we're chasing the city assholes' dirty laundry."— Crusher's Funeral.New York City, 1970.Crusher--the city's toughest and meanest debt collector--is dead. But his secret boxes of blackmail, stolen jewelry, piles of cash, and maybe a $100,000 lottery ticket have every crook, cop, and hustler clawing for a piece. From a street kid who knows too much to a blind widow who knows everything, the chase is fast, funny, and full of bad decisions.Because in New York, the dead don't always stay buried.
