Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Not-quite-by-the-book FBI agents Tozzi and Gibbons ( Bad Guys ; Bad Blood ) return here in another hilarious adventure. Trump-ish tycoon Russell Nashe is about to open Atlantic City's biggest casino. He owes $5 million to Sal Immordino, acting head of the Mistretta "family." Nashe hasn't got the money, and Sal must receive it before Mistretta's imminent release from jail. In desperation, Nashe and Sal fix a championship fight held in Nashe's casino. Tozzi, undercover as a Nashe bodyguard, is boffing Nashe's glamorous wife, Sydney--and so is Sal--but each is irritated by her efforts to quiz them about Nashe's plans. Hothead Tozzi is about to be yanked back to the office when he persuades older, sometimes wiser Gibbons to help. Gibbons jumps at the chance to escape his desk job and his longtime girlfriend's preoccupation with their upcoming wedding. Of course it's out of the frying pan and into the fire: the duo encounters various thugs, members of the fight "game," hangers-on and Sal's memorable sister, a nun involved with the Mob up to her wimple. The climax at the bout is lethal, funny and satisfying.

"Bad" Books = Good Reading, Aug 17 2005
By STEPcoach(tm) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BAD LUCK (Hardcover)
Bruno's books about wildcard fibbies, Gibbons and Tozzi, versus the mob go down smooth like a cold one on a hot afternoon in da Bronx! These are all one sitting reads, 'cause you can't put them down after the opening explosions.Bruno's use of realistic lingo and action combine to create a movie in the mind. He must be a made man, cause he sure has the scat down. And, between Gibbons' perpetual grouchiness and Tozzi's hotdogging, the feds never looked so good.
It's hard to single out a favorite. Bruno runs the series like a steady play. Continuous characters allow you to get to know both the good guys and the bad guys well. The real hero in the series, though, has gotta be Bruno himself, who keeps them all believable and real.
