March 1995. The taller of the two, dark suit, briefcase in a sweaty hand, waited at the door for the okay. His colleague, in jeans and a black hooded jacket, had just severed the outside phone line. He peered through a gap in the kitchen’s dusty blinds, a last check that their victim was still on his own. When the thumbs-up signal came, the suit knocked on the glass door.

The same man who’d served Orso for fifteen years, had somehow come through the sack of Fontezarmo unscathed, and now had made the transition from master to mistress with admirable smoothness. Monza had stolen Orso’s city, after all, his palace, some of his clothes, even, with a few adjustments. Why not his retainers too?
