Steve Hill was blessed with perfect hearing. His hearing was so acute that he could discern the minute fluctuations of a person’s heartbeat. For years he used this skill in service of the Mateo Family, acting as a human lie detector. Sitting in a corner; eyes closed and ears open, he could tell if a family soldier was a stoolie or a good fella just by listening to their heartbeat. It’s the life of Reily…until, one day when Steve hears something he was never meant to.The Boss’s néer-do-well son is planning a hit — on his father. Now, Steve must try and save the man who gave him purpose while avoiding a petulant, coked-up man-child who will stop at nothing to take his father’s empire.
