Produktinformationen zu „The Extortionist (ePub)“
Steve Block, a retired New York City police detective was surprised when he was summoned to meet with the head of the Family. Years earlier, to avoid conflicts that were certain to arise, he had established a set of operating ground rules with his best friend, Joe Monetti, a ranking member of the Mafia. Those rules defined their relationship in the event of confrontations between the Family and the police. He was caught off guard, therefore, to find that the purpose of his meeting was to help the Mafia find the killer of one of their members, Sal Vitorio.
The New York City Police Department had made a cursory investigation of the murder and had met with no success in finding the killer. Although the murdered man was ostensibly a legitimate businessman, the police knew that the victim was a front for the Mafia, with prior involvement in both drugs and prostitution. They did not intend to undertake a costly investigation to find the killer of a Mafia member. City budgets would not allow it.
The Extortionist is the story of how Steve Block learns how to deal with the Family in tracking down the extortionist and killer. And it describes how Steve Block, when he finally identifies Stoddard Blakeslee as the extortionist and murderer, discovers he has the wrong person.

Autoren-Porträt von Sy Cook
I returned home after three years plus in the Pacific Arena WW II. And because Brooklyn College, the school I had been previously attending, did not have an engineering school, I opted to start a new company in the electronics industry. I sold my companies in the late sixties to one of the Fortune 500 conglomerates and accepted CEO responsibilities for a number of entities owned by the new parent company. In the early seventies, I accepted a role as consultant in the World Trade Center in New York City during its construction period, involved in the design of communication systems for the facility. After the completion of that project, I accepted the role as director of telecommunications at the University of Massachusetts. My activities there involved all of the UMASS campuses, and in addition, advisor to other Massachusetts based organizations.I am a member of IEEE and was elevated to Senior Status by its membership in 1972. I relocated to Florida in the early eighties and accepted a position as vice president of engineering, responsible for network design and fiber optics with a firm that became the largest Florida-based long distance telephone company in the state.
Although my continuing interest is primarily in electronics, one of my hobbies is writing. I have written a number of technical articles that have been published, and in addition, I have written two published novels. I am listed in “Who’s Who in the East.”
