Overview

On New Year's Eve, Jimmy Gambar (nee Gambuzza) storms out of Windows on the World restaurant, leaving his uptight girlfriend, her ridiculous gift of a hot pink silk tie, and the diamond blaze of the Brooklyn Bridge behind. At thirty-eight, Jimmy's precise, architect's life plan has just fallen apart, undermined by his would-be fiancee's manic drive to reinvent him. Later that night, trouble hits big...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 to deal with, and only one person to turn to: his brother Gus.

Overview

On New Year's Eve, Jimmy Gambar (nee Gambuzza) storms out of Windows on the World restaurant, leaving his uptight girlfriend, her ridiculous gift of a hot pink silk tie, and the diamond blaze of the Brooklyn Bridge behind. At thirty-eight, Jimmy's precise, architect's life plan has just fallen apart, undermined by his would-be fiancee's manic drive to reinvent him. Later that night, trouble hits big...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 to deal with, and only one person to turn to: his brother Gus. Driving across the bridge to Brooklyn with a body rolled up in an oriental carpet locked in the trunk, Jimmy has the feeling that Gus is taking him back to sixteenth-century Sicily. "Don't tell me what I don't want to know," says Gus "The Ghost" Gambuzza, whose name is known to every street punk and whose car stays unlocked in his Bay Ridge neighborhood - and untouched, except when kids reverently polish it. But Jimmy has a lot to say, and a painful secret burned deep in his heart that changed his life, and Gus's, forever. Long estranged from his family, Jimmy's on an all-night ride into his past with a brother who, for all he knows, might save or kill him. Jimmy's about to find out once and for all who loves him best.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Nothing is what it seems in this tight, funny and refreshing 1990s take on A Christmas Carol. The Scrooge here is architect Jimmy Gambar, favored by both a successful career and the love of a beautiful woman. But after Jimmy's egomania sparks a lovers' quarrel on New Year's Eve, and a potential one-night stand drops dead in his apartment, he encounters his very own ghost of days gone by: his big brother Gus 'The Ghost' Gambuzza, a reputed gangster. In an odyssey that takes him from Soho through Brooklyn, Jimmy confronts the past he's been avoiding for most of his adult life. Carillo neatly balances the quirky and sometimes hilarious events of the long night with artfully arranged flashbacks. Through conversations, memories and Jimmy's subtly portrayed point of view, the members of the Gambuzza family grow and become more complex, as does Jimmy himself. 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.
From The Critics
Jimmy Gambar, riding across the Brooklyn Bridge with his brother and with a body in the trunk, suspects he may have to confront his Sicilian ancestors. (Oct.)
