One character, Carly Chase, could be seen getting out of her car and sitting at the side of the road before making a worried phone call to a loved one. After a police officer approached her to take a breathalyser test, she was informed that she had failed the test and was immediately arrested. My favorite characters were both diabolical. First, there is the evil, spoiled mafia princess, Fernanda Revere, who lives in an East Hamptons mansion on Long Island. A bully who delights in abusing the staff, she’s described as the “bitch queen from Hell”. Her spineless husband, Lou Revere, an accountant for the mob, merely tries to stay out of her way, especially when she is in a drunken rage.

Most importantly, after reading Dead Man’s Grip, I think that I will be a safer, more careful driver. If I accidentally kill someone who is related to the mob, I might find myself the target of a professional hit man.

If my parents were killed by a drunk driver, I might want to hurt that drunk. This is why forgiveness is very important. Unfortunately, forgiveness was something that Fernanda Revere was incapable of offering.

The discovery of skeletal remains in a Brighton storm drain and a young girl being hunted by an armed hitman appear to be unconnected, until the two cases unexpectedly collide in the most unimaginable way.

From Carly, I learned that a night of heavy drinking can cause a breathalyzer test performed the next morning to indicate that one is still technically drunk. In other words, don’t get into a traffic accident after having been on a drinking binge the previous night.It felt like it had to be quite raw.

The other character that greatly fascinated me was Tooth, a very professional, military trained hit man who lives in the Caribbean. He has an ugly dog, Yossarian, that chews off the fingers of intruders. Tooth is best described as a small, wiry man who is surprisingly strong, fierce and agile, like a mongoose. He’s also wily like a coyote, able to outsmart the police, always keeping one step ahead of them. Worst of all, he likes to videotape his victims while they are slowly dying in gruesome manners that may offend some readers.
