JAMES HADLEY CHASE

Knock, Knock! Who Is There?

     Johnny Bianda, who has implicit faith in his St. Christopher's medal,  is the most trusted man of mafia boss, Joe Massino.  Bianda handles close to $ 100,000/= as extortion money,  every week, with his boss's full confidence. But Bianda has a dream... to own a fishing boat  and escape from it all, to the coast of Florida. He  cooks up a foolproof plan, high jacks  $ 186,000 and makes off, but soon has the mafia on his tail. It was just a matter of time that the organisation found him. He manages to shack up with a couple on a boat, but the mafia finds him there too.  His St. Christopher's medal lost, he decides that a disguise may give him a year or so... eventually there had to be a knock on his door; only the knock comes sooner than he had thought....
