Chapter 15: The Key
Leandros had not slept since Friday, and he did not sleep now.
It was four in the morning, and the penthouse was quiet.
Quincy had been stitched and bandaged at Hopkins and left sleeping under a nurse's blanket, with Manolis in a chair outside the door.
The man with the scar was in the harbor police's custody on a gun charge nobody in the Family had asked for.

The beads lay on the pillow next to his open palm.

He had been a wall for his father at nine, and for the Family at twenty-six, when the old man died on the dock with his hand on a rope.
