Russell Newhouse's story

- How did I ever get sucked into this mob? I preferred life when I was a red-blooded college boy and lived up to my name. Newhouse, Casanova – you work it out.

Ira-Myra Kaminsky's story

- I looked after Mr Cats, now I would look after him. He’s da boss.

Esther Cats' story

- We both liked pussy. Deep down he had some serious issues. I told him, he had to be a man, among men.

Celeste Callinan's story

- He was a good lay; he just forgot the rules. No-one dumps me and gets off lightly. My brothers, including the priest, saw to that.

Fritz von Zeppelin's story

- My job is to keep him out on the streets. His job is to run the streets. Don’t know if it will help him but he is another literary-minded hood, right out of the same mould as Shushan Cats.

Dolores Gray's story

- This DA knew where the evidence pointed. Straight at Russell Newhouse. He was in the middle of it all, had to be down to him.
