A Kiss Before the End

When a member of his crew is seen in the Bahamas, where he has no business and may be involved in a murder, Carter Garrison looks into the matter. Along the way, he meets Gianna Matisse. She came to Knuckles gambling spot with one of their regulars and had been coming there nightly without him. Carter tells his people that he wants to know everything about her—and not just because she’s beautiful. Her being a ghost might represent a threat to The Family.

As The Family prepares to go to war with the Italians, Carter finds out her true intentions. When he agrees to help her, Black cautions him to remember: “Our priority remains the Montanaris.”
