The Belfast Connection by Milton Bass

A Benny Freedman Thriller


Benny Freedman's interest in his Irish Catholic roots lands him in Belfast just in time for the funeral of Sean, his murdered cousin, and in the cross fire of hate, prejudice, and terrorism tearing the city apart. Jumping in the hunt for Sean's killer, Benny becomes privy to torture sessions, shoot-outs, death-defying confrontations, and narrowly escapes being blown up. But when  bullets get aimed in his direction, he suddenly realizes that finding the murderer is only half the battle. The other half is just staying alive. Studded with wry humor, and packed with non-stop action, Benny puts his wily half-Irish, half-Jewish charms in the middle of his most treacherous case yet.

Benny Freedman liked having six million bucks in the bank. But there was one hitch. The Mafia claimed it was theirs, and were willing to write out their claim in Benny's blood. Which left Benny in the clutches of some very cool killers, while an overheated lady of the family decided that Benny could also be used to make her sexual fantasies come true. Benny Freedman had six million dollars worth of tsouris, and his life wasn't worth two cents.........

Blood Money
Somebody wanted to bleed Benny Freedman white with fear. Enough fear to give the Mob back money that he had inherited and that they figured was theirs. They started with a bullet through Benny's arm. Then they aimed lower, at a far more sensitive target. But they didn't make Benny afraid. They only made him mad enough to give the masters of terror a stomach full of their own deadly medicine. As we waded into the underworld swamp of steamy sex and savage slaughter where you had to be crazy as a fox to survive.
