Funny thing about Jill and Boots. They just won't give up. A young and ambitious New York gangster; two dedicated New York detectives. The city just isn’t big enough for them all . . . Teddy Winuk has it all going on. He’s young, ambitious, dedicated, ruthless and blessed with enough energy to fuel a crew twice the size of the one he’s assembled. Teddy has a game plan, too, a marketing strategy worthy of the financier he once aspired to be. New York City is home to more than three million immigrants from all over the world. Naturally, a small percentage is in need of the drugs and the loans he’s prepared to supply. All he needs to do is reach out to them through a network of junior partners drawn from those very communities.

Funny thing about Jill and Boots. They just won’t give up. |
