Unluckily, two years earlier, Anthony Agrioli met newlyweds Cody and Norma Faye Parker in a Vegas casino and heard their enthusiastic descriptions of Center Springs as the perfect place to settle down and raise a family. Now handsome hit man Agrioli and a blonde bombshell full of surprises need a place to hide out and, if possible, duck retribution from his Las Vegas crime boss._x000D_ Thirteen-year-old Top Parker has what his grandmother, Miss Becky, calls a Poisoned Gift. His dreams, though random and disconnected, always seem to come true. This time Top dreams he s a wagon hub with spokes converging from all directions. To him, the spokes symbolize that something is coming. And it is Center Springs will soon become a combat zone when a squad of gangsters arrives. Oddly, they re after something else. Not Agrioli yet.
