The Starlight Club is jumping . . . All Big Red Fortunato wants to
do . . . is clear his name and get his movie studio running in the
black, but lately problems appear whenever he tries to leave
Queens. Was it destiny that caused the world's most beautiful
actress to be shoved into the protective arms of the most powerful
mobster in Queens, NY at the exact moment that assassins tried to
kill her? Red wonders who wants her dead, and why? This was a war
Big Red never wanted, but he's not immune to the charms of the
beautiful actress. Red never wore his heart on his sleeve but the
more he gets to know Marilyn Monroe the more he finds himself drawn
to her. But sinister forces are at work and, as he tries to protect
the beautiful movie queen; he is unwittingly drawn into a web of
deceit that reaches into the highest levels of government. Red
tells Marilyn . . . "From now on wherever you go Trenchie goes with
you. And if he's with you, you'll stay alive." Red is proud of his
three fighters. Henri was just crowned the Welterweight Champ.
Swifty is scheduled to fight for the Middleweight Championship of
the world - but Red's heavyweight fighter Gonzo has a problem. His
opponent has just lapsed into a coma from a powerhouse right hand
to his head ... and he may not live. Joey Bones shook his head.
"What do we do now? Here we are holed up with the most popular
female star in the world and if the authorities find that we have
her, they'll think we kidnapped her." Richard Nixon is scheduled to
speak at the Republican Convention in Madison Square garden, where
assassins plan to kill him. Red must protect Nixon and his family.
The question is - why is Nixon being targeted? Red wonders. Is
there a connection between Marilyn and Nixon? In Madison Square
Garden Red asks Frankie Carbo. "Frankie if you wanted to kill
Nixon, where would you place your shooter." "That's easy." He said
pointing to the highest point in the Garden. "I'd put him up there
in the eagle's nest." She whispered to him softly, "I only have one
good friend and that's ... Joe." Her hand lingered over his scars
and his hand remained over hers. Her face was close to his, almost
brushing it. He turned to say something, but their lips touched and
he kissed her tenderly. The kiss lingered longer than either of
them expected. He didn't want the kiss to end, but he broke away.
Marilyn promised Frank Sinatra that she'd be at the grand opening
of his Cal Neva Lodge. Red wants to go with her for protection, but
problems with a Neo Nazi group has surfaced so instead he sends
Joey Bones to protect her. "Make sure nothing happens to her Joey.
Because if something does, I'm holding you responsible." A Nazi
youth group desecrates a Jewish Temple in Queens and the Rabbi is
threatened. Red must deal with the problem. Red made sure that
Frankie the Horse's wife received a check every week he was in
prison. But now he's out and he wants more money. What does he have
that can hurt Red?. It was hard for Pissclams to do, but he
completed the job. Now Red asks him to follow him into the cellar,
but Pissclams is worried about who might be down there waiting for
him. The re-grand opening of the Starlight Club is an extravaganza
that regulars would never miss. A surprise guest entertainer always
provides the entertainment. This night Red's guests are in for a
very special treat.
