    Summary

    “We’ve got a new neighbour,” Gianna said. She gestured at the windows. Opposite La Famiglia, a mover’s van had squeezed itself onto the narrow lane, unloading kitchen equipment.

    Santino didn’t bother to look up. He was perched on a bar stool, planning the night’s menu. “We’re in a good area. Walking distance from the Duomo. The empty space wasn’t going to stay empty for long.” He checked his sister’s notes, which were scrawled onto a napkin. “We can’t do a semifreddo for the dolce.”

    Summary

    Beyond Helen, John was not used to lying. Until the day of her death, he had been grateful that she never asked deeper questions about his tattoos, about the way he habitually watched the shadows, about how he always chose to sit in a restaurant with his back to the wall and within view of the exits, about how he refused to travel. Because of his lies, they lived a staged life drawn in uneven acts.

    Summary

    Like most of the Excommunicado in the Tribunal Res Judicata, John never asked questions. When he straightened up from Cardinal Fredoli’s ring, he inclined his head, stepping back, his eyes fixed on the floor, already thinking about process. He’d have to get outfitted again. Visit the Apostolic Records—

    “John.” Fredoli, as always, was gentle. “Do you ever question the Dispensation?”

    John blinked. He waited for a moment, just in case the question was rhetorical. Fredoli had never said a word to him before other than to confirm the issuance or completion of Penitent Markers. “No,” he said finally.

    “Do you know how many before you have gone against Gianna D’Antonio?”

    “Three.”

    “Two were returned in several parts. One was not returned at all.”

    Summary

    Santino tried to pull out of his sister’s grip once they crossed the threshold into the Continental, but her fingers only tightened. She marched them right up to the concierge, drawing polite glances that flicked over them, pretending disinterest. Santino knew better. They didn’t see a young woman and a child. They saw survivors.

    Gianna pushed a gold coin across the counter. “I’d like to see the Manager.”

    “One moment.” The concierge picked up the phone, dialling. Waiting. “Sir. Yes. Gianna and Santino D’Antonio. Yes.” He hung up. “He’s in his office, madame.”

    Once in the lift, Santino could no longer hold his tongue. “We can’t hide here forever. Not with the Baba Yaga behind us.”
