Last Ride With Gus
(2023)(The second book in the Last Ride With Gus series)
A novel by Charlie Carillo
No secret stays buried forever.
Twenty years have passed since Gus (The Ghost) Gambuzza and his brother Jimmy disposed of the body of Consuelo Santiago, who was killed on New Year's Eve, 1995. Suddenly, a shocker - it turns out Consuelo had a two-year-old daughter named Sonia who's grown up to become a singing star known as Double-S. She's on a mission to find out what happened to her mother, who mysteriously vanished all those years ago - along with the gold locket she always wore, with a photo of baby Sonia inside it. Sonia wants the truth, and she wants the locket - she's even written a hit song called "Looking For My Locket."
The trail to the Gambuzza brothers is as cold as ice - or is it? Jimmy Gambuzza, still haunted by guilt over the freak accident that killed Sonia's mother, visits the Ghost in Florida, where he's retired from his life as a gangster - or thought he was. Jimmy begs Gus to come back to Brooklyn and stay with him, until the crisis passes. So Gus joins Jimmy for one final trip back home, carrying something special in his luggage - the gold locket.
Why did Gus keep it? What will he do with it? This stunning sequel to "My Ride With Gus" is a roller coaster ride to the finish, with long-buried truths coming to light all along the way.
