Synopses & Reviews
Pander wore dark glasses and fancy suspenders and he moved into the San Pietro rackets like a sandblaster gone berserk. While Fell, his boss, is away, Pander seizes the oppurtunity to move in on the heavy money. Then Fell returns, accompanied by the malevolent Cripp, a human adding machine with a beautiful face and a twisted leg.
