A Favor for Sal: A P.I. Dan Healey Story
The day after Tony Savage was discovered in the trunk of his car on one of the piers off South Street, both garrotted and with two 9 mm. holes in his head, I had a visit from Sal Peluggi, one of the mob street bosses and Tony Savage’s father-in-law.
Sal was of the old school, a big man, well fed, well dressed, about sixty, with a full head of greying hair, always looking freshly barbered. He favored cigars and didn’t worry about his own or anyone else’s lung cancer. He did me the honor of a personal visit instead of sending for me.
