This is a synopsis of the first five chapters of many cones by Steve . My name is Ramesh Unni, and I have had the honor of being a friend of the Lustina family for many years. I had the pleasure of reading Many Cones when it was first published by his son, Tommy, my great friend, before Mr. Lustina passed. In this story, I feel that we get great insight into the world that Steve Lustina lived in.
The characters are raw and complicated. The story is graphic in some ways, insightful in others, and certainly compelling. As Many Cones opens, we meet Jim Donas and his wife, Sue. They're getting ready to go out to dinner when there was a knock at the door. Jim finds a young man at the door who introduces himself as Richard Sparne.
Mr. Sparne asks to come in. Eventually he forces his way in and stabs Jim Donas. This all happens while his wife is getting ready in the bathroom. Subsequently a group of young men enter after being signaled by Richard Sparne. They ransack the home and then brutally murder the Donas couple. In chapter two, we are introduced to the crime scene through the eyes of Lieutenant Ray Grandisha.
The police were called by Jules and Liz Pranet, Sue's brother and sister-in-law, and the couple the Donases we're supposed to have met for dinner that evening. As Ray Grandisha takes in the crime scene, he runs into John Lupico, the coroner. It is clear that Ray Grandisha believes that something very unusual and very sinister took place here in chapter three, we are introduced to the fine time, a bar frequented by law enforcement lawyers and politicians.
We meet Carole Lombard, Ray Grandisha's girlfriend, as he turns to the comforts of smoke and drink after leaving the crime scene. Carol is a waitress at the fine time. At the end of the chapter, Ray Grandisha again reflects on the sense of evil that he felt at the crime scene. Chapter four introduces us to Albert Moffit. At first glance, Mr. Moffit is very vanilla. He is nondescript and lives a boring life. However, we learned that Albert Moffit is delusional and convinced that he has been chosen to become a crime boss. He crosses paths with Richard Sparne in a chance meeting at the high school. Albert Moffit convinces the young man of his delusion. Richard Sparne and a group of his friends decide to become the mercenaries of Mr.
Moffit. Chapter five begins with the scene of Richard Sparne and his friends returning to the home of Albert Moffett. After executing the Donases, we hear Richard Sparne and his friends like Ricardo Morales describe the Donases as a pimp and hooker and the way that they saw them as part of the problem that Albert Moffitt was trying to get rid of.
Richard Sparne quits his basketball team and essentially dedicates his life to carrying out the desires of Albert Moffit. Thanks for listening so far. And I hope you enjoy the rest of many cones.
