A body in a barrel just appeared on the shore of Lake Mead, and Lenny Battaglia is worried.
Forty years ago, when Lenny was a henchman in the Las Vegas mafia, his partner, Frank, whacked the victim, and Lenny helped dump the body. But there’s another victim in another barrel somewhere in the lake, and it’s got Lenny’s name on it. For now, that barrel’s underwater, but the drought-ravaged lake keeps dropping, and Frank is talking to the cops.
Lenny tows his fishing boat to the lake to haul his barrel farther from shore, but his boat’s too small, the barrel’s too heavy, and he’s too old. Lenny needs a new plan. Can he cover the horror of his crooked past before it catches up to him in the present?
A cross between Martin Scorsese’s Casino and Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Body in a Barrel is a suspenseful, gritty, noir novella about organized crime, violence, murder, fear, guilt, grace, and unlikely friendship in Sin City, inspired by true events.
