Ten minutes later he snaps and storms out, leaving behind the girlfriend, her ridiculous gift of a hot pink necktie and the precise way of life he’s known for so long.Later that night, big trouble – a sleazy downtown bar, a shady lady with a switchblade in his SoHo loft, an accidental fall against a metal lamp. Now Jimmy has a dead woman’s body lying on his rug, and only one person to turn to – a man he hasn’t seen in twenty years. His big brother Gus (“The Ghost”) Gambuzza. “What started out as a wild ride to get rid of a corpse ends up as a touching and believable story of family love and survival, a testament to Carillo’s storytelling abilities.”- Publishers Weekly “What a lovely book this is…a long night filled with happenings that should seem improbable but don’t because Carillo’s reality is so inviting…a tender tale, albeit knowing and funny too.”- New York Daily News “Reminisent of the movie ‘After Hours,’ this nightmarish picaresque novel mixes elements of slapstick, the surreal, and the absurd, all delivered in rambunctious, wildly profane Brooklynese.”- Booklist “Oddly heartwarming”-London Gentleman’s Quarterly”A classic New York gangster story, replete with world-weary hoods, fruity dialogue and witty one-liners…the observations of Brooklyn life and the redemption of Jimmy’s soul are warm and almost profound.”-London Daily Telegraph “An inspired marriage of the pciaresque narrative and the road movie in which Gus, worldly wise and world weary, and Jimmy, his paranoid straight man, move through a series of hilarious near-disasters.”- Newport News Daily Press “Carillo sustains his deliberately improbably narrative with elan, piling up the jokes in the best comic-thriller tradition.”-The Times of London ” ‘My Ride With Gus’ is a funny, touching, ultimately exhilarating trip with people who will stay with you long after the trip ends. It’s a novel about the mob, about love, about family, one that could only come together in the hands of someone who knows how to tell a story, and knows New York City just as well.”- Mike Lupica “…continuing suspense and snappy, wisecracking dialogue.”-The London Independent “My Ride With Gus is at times hilarious, and at others it is a moving account of just what family and life and society is all about.”- The Pilot, Southern Pines, N.C.” ‘My Ride With Gus’ is outrageously funny, with Brooklynese molding the scnee…zany characters, bizarre predicaments, hilarious subplots and downright scary situations.”-The Post and Courier

Lee Raines is a recently orphaned young man, aimlessly drifting west through the Rocky Mountains, when he finds himself fighting for his life against a powerful gang in a strange, violent, war.
A car breakdown leaves Lee stranded in a small Montana logging town where battle lines are being drawn in a war he only vaguely understands. When the inevitable explosion happens, he finds himself caught in the middle. His life is changed forever as he’s forced to fight for survival in a mountainous world alien to anything he has ever known.
Lee makes friends and gradually comes to grips with the loss of his parents as he wanders through the mountains surrounding the little town. But while in mountains, he innocently witnesses crimes being committed during the confusion surrounding the local conflicts. Not wanting to be involved, Lee makes plans to leave the area. However, before he can leave, Lee finds himself in a shooting war, forced to defend himself against a powerful crime boss and his brutal henchmen.
Finally the shooting stops, the sheriff makes arrests, and the known criminals are convicted. Peace seems to have finally returned to the Montana mountains. Lee settles in and takes a job while he tries to put his life back together.
But the fight isn’t over. It takes a brutal ambush to make Lee and the townspeople realize that the problems were more complex than anyone had realized. A final gun battle, a battle that results in real Rocky Mountain Justice, ends the war. It also puts Lee and his friends on a path that they will follow for many years to come.
The Deadly River effectively combines a classic adventure story with both heartfelt emotion and a theme that will leave one thinking long after the book is read. It’s a great read that combines the pathos of a young orphan’s plight with the exhilaration and adventures that come with gun battles and fist fights deep in the Montana mountains.
