VINSETTI was no ordinary gangster, held no ordinary position. For two years he had been the suave ambassador, the plenipotentiary travelling from coast to coast, the go--between who crossed and recrossed the lakes to Canada. At times he had been a high--grade negotiator, and settled differences which threatened to develop gruesomely if gang leaders kept their promise.
He was a good--looking young man, had a reputation for gallantry, and harboured the illusion of invincibility. There was certain justification for this.
