Babe and Leo scene from Deadly Lullaby featured on Shine Like Stars blog

Babe Crucci and his son Leo are the central characters in the crime fiction thriller, Deadly Lullaby , a rollicking novel about family and felony by Robert McClure . The book blog,  Shine Like Stars in the Universe , features the following excerpt from the novel where Babe and Leo are arriving at an isolated warehouse to resolve Leo’s gambling debt with a mob boss:
      We drive side roads for about fifteen minutes, then pull in to the parking lot.
      My son says, “It’s a setup. I can feel it.”
      He parks at the end of a row of luxury cars. I say, “Nah, this old warehouse has just got you spooked, that’s all.” I look it over and make some professional observations: “We are, what, over four miles outside the nearest town? Christ, you could fight a war out here and never upset a civilian ear. It is a perfect place for a hit.”
      This is not what he wants to hear.
      I recognize this and say right away, “But Macky would’ve already whacked you if that’s what he wanted to do. Relax.”
      He asks me a question that comes from nowhere, as if it is something that has occupied his mind all along: “Why are you doing this for me? Why?”
