Sinopsis

UNDERLAY á Harry the Flat is dead and buried in the backstretch of Aqueduct Raceway. This is causing the Mob no end of trouble on the betting side, so Harry&rsquo,s oldest and dearest friend&mdash,now carrying on with Harry&rsquo,s widow, Gertrude nee Hawkins, in Harry&rsquo,s absence, and in debt to the Mob for $1500&mdash,is persuaded to dig him up after the eighth race. Tony Winner, low level Mob boss, is very specific on this point, and to that end has had a time bomb surgically implanted in our hero&rsquo,s thigh to impress upon him the urgency of this matter. á So on this fateful day, off he goes to the Aqueduct in Queens, New York, with a cello case stuffed with a pick and a shovel, prepared to dig up the dubious remains of Harry the Flat so that the Mob&rsquo,s control of horserace betting is no longer compromised. His mind is filled with thoughts of Harry, of Gertrude, of his ex-wife, and all the schemes and plans and bets that led to this moment. It will be a long day for our hero. He has a lot to learn about horse racing. á
