And even though Stone doesn't want to have anything to do with Herbie, or the mafia for that matter, he is soon coerced into the job by Eggers. With the help of ex-partner Dino, Stone investigates "Datilla the Hun" and the rest of the family - encountering intrigue and danger at every turn. Will Stone end up at the bottom of Sheepshead Bay?"Fresh Disasters" is Woods at the very height of his storytelling powers.
