Getting Gennaro Lucca patched up and safely to Italy with his wife in the time available was no small feat. There was no possibility that the news of Black Gorgiano’s death would precede them, so there was every chance the loyal members of the Ring of Red Faction would intercept and murder the two travelers. What hope had Holmes and I of negotiating the subtle and complex web of criminal politics in a land we knew so little of?

Luckily for us, when subtlety failed we had other options.

We sent Grogsson with them. If any of the local Mafiosi felt obligated to test his mettle against Torg… well… we wished him luck.

To Mrs. Warren, we could only extend our condolences on the loss of five pounds a week. Then again, that’s what one gets for being nosey.

Personally, I was rather pleased with the outcome. It felt good to rub the Pinkerton Detective Agency’s nose in it for a second time. I held this view for three more nights. Until a long-dead Persian taught me how unspeakably dangerous were the waters into which I had just thrust my toe. And how wrong I had been to do it.
