He drives off the man after a small scuffle, only to learn that the man is Croselli, one of the mob bosses of New York City. Croselli had slapped Hemingway for wearing a wire tape, and from this he deduced that Hemingway was an FBI agent. Hemingway warns him to leave the city before midnight or else Croselli would have his men kill him. They then part ways. Excellent book. It will keep you reading when you should be sleeping, getting work done, getting kids off to school. Face it, you won't get anything done, so just read the book, finish it, then get everything done.
