The Starlight Club 2: The Contenders (Starlight Club Series)

Red Fortunatoâ€™s Starlight Club in Queens is back, still teeming with mobsters and their â€œbusinessâ€ each night. Trenchie, Tarzan and Moose have returned. The Genovese family and others hang out amidst the grandeur of Redâ€™s renovated baby â€“ the Grand Ballroom.

Columbia Pictures studio head, Larry Bernstein, is being blackmailed. â€œHe knew that once any money had been exchanged, that this would not prevent any future demands. These people were nuts and nuts meant dangerous. There was no one in Hollywood he could trust. This was a gossip columnistâ€™s dream scoopâ€ that could ruin the studio. Big Red eagerly offers assistance, on his terms, with a caveat â€“ a piece of Hollywood, and Swifty, the son he never had, is his ticket in the boxing ring and in glamour city.

â€œRed was what some in the neighborhood called a â€˜benevolent dictator.â€™ His neighbors loved him and his enemies knew he was the boss of a crime family that numbered a thousand men or more. It was just a given that no crime would take place in Redâ€™s territory. The outcome was a reprisal called â€˜the wrath of the Red Headâ€™.â€ Too bad no one told the power hungry Detroit capo. He violated the â€œrules.â€

The phone was reminiscent of the red phone that led right to the White House. The councilâ€™s decision would stand. â€œThe chief tapped the fingers of both hands twice. That was the signalâ€ to Red that it was okay to proceed with justice â€“ mob style. â€œThe car moved slowly ahead until it reached a huge yellow machine. It was the car crusher. Reilly and his men instantly knew their fate. There were whimpers from inside the car, grown men pleading, pleading for their lives, begging for mercy.â€
