Double Rush (Rex Carlton Mysteries Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Michael F. Rizzo (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
See all formats and editions
The Buffalo Mafia is a well-known myth that permeates the gray city streets. Talk of its presence and actions have been discouraged or scoffed at for years, yet for Rex Carlton, that myth is going to become very, very real.

As the lead bike courier for Zippie Messengers, Rex rides these city streets every day, delivering important correspondence while dodging both pedestrians and cars. When he accidentally slams into a stranger, Rex is unaware that he has crossed paths with an influential mobster, or that his life is suddenly on the line.

A chance encounter and a dropped bag throw him down a rabbit hole of danger, intrigue and
Mafia connections that could rock the entire city to the ground.

Includes a discussion guide.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael F. Rizzo was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. In the 1990s he produced and wrote a weekly television show, COMX-TV about the busy comic book industry. With his co-host, they interviewed hundreds of comic book creators and attended dozens of conventions.

His first book, Through The Mayors' Eyes, was finished in 1990 but languished for 15 years. He found self-publishing and released the book in 2005. After releasing several more self-published books, he published four books with The History Press. 

Rizzo ran Zippy Delivery, a bike messenger courier business, for seven years, then started The Mob Tours. 

In 2013 he and his family moved to the Pacific Northwest. In 2015 Rizzo co-hosted Northwest Brew Talk with his partner. They covered the beer industry in Washington state for two years interviewing dozens of brewery entrepreneurs. That year he released Buffalo Beer, and in 2016 he published Washington Beer. 

His first novel, Double Rush, was released in February 2018.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bikes, Bullies, Bullets, in Buffalo, NY

Michael Rizzo knows the bicycle-messenger business and he knows Buffalo, NY.
He puts this knowledge to use in this pleasant novel about a decent and intelligent
messenger, Rex Carlton, who gets inadvertently, and somewhat implausibly, crosswise
with the Mob.

We get some action, some modest murder, a bit of romance without graphic sex.
It makes for a pretty interesting mix. Mostly nice folk undergoing life in the bicycle lane.

Not sure I'll read his first one on Rex's tribulations, but I might.

A very different mob story with a lot of class and characters you'll attach too. A buffalo, N.Y. cool story.
