Plot Synopsis

Cosimo Lechesi had his world torn out from under him when his dear old Mamma suddenly died due to a slip up at a local pizzeria. What was to be a plain cheese pizza shared for supper between mother and son, turned into a fatal mistake by an inattentive pie guy. An unfortunate anchovy lurked with the clinched hand of fate. Mamma was gone. Her physical aversion to the fish was too much to overcome.

Following Mamma’s death, Cosimo found his existence consumed by feelings of guilt and confusion. Each day that passed, new questions haunted him. Pushed to his limits by these feelings, Cosmio decided he was going to seek retribution for his loss. On the anniversary of Mamma’s passing, an order was placed at the pizzeria responsible for the incident. LARGE PIE WITH ONE ANCHOVY... to be delivered.

Scott Conti, a down on his luck delivery boy, would quickly realize that his luck was about to get much worse. An evening that had begun as just a series of bottom rung runs and bum tips, would soon become a nightmare the likes he could never have imagined. 

Master crime writer Cecil Garret prepares to weave these events into a tapestry of hard boiled prose, as the incident is analyzed by those that were affected by this fateful night.
