To finance the restaurant, he borrowed money from loan sharks who have become increasingly nasty as his "vigorish" (payment with interest) goes deeper into arrears. They stop him at a bank's night depository and cheerfully take the restaurant's entire revenues for the week, leaving him with a nasty knife-slash wound on one hand as a reminder that he only paid up for the one week and he's still due the next week, with lots of so-called interest payments. The restaurateur is getting increasingly desperate -- he had already paid more than triple the amount of the loan with only a minuscule reduction of the principal -- and Toma volunteers to help. Soon, the leader of the loan-sharking operation is murdered in an apparent power play. Toma finds out that one of his street-contact "friends" was involved in the killing, and manages to infiltrate the new gang. Features a great gunfight at the end where Toma manages to knock out or pin down everybody without using his gun -- despite dodging multiple gunshots. Written by Peter Harris See less
