Part 2, Chapter 17 Summary

Ron, Ibrahim, Joyce, and Elizabeth stake out Dom’s warehouse from Ron’s car. Ron is bored, Ibrahim reads The Economist to Joyce, and Elizabeth sits quietly. Dom pulls up and knocks on the window. He knows they’ve been watching his warehouse for an hour. When Elizabeth makes it clear that they know who he is, Dom reveals that he knows who Ron is, that Ibrahim visits Connie Johnson in prison (though he does not say why), and that Elizabeth has a gun in her bag—a fact Elizabeth isn’t hiding. Dom doesn’t know who Joyce is. The gang explains they’re looking for the man who murdered Kuldesh and that they know that Dom was in his shop. Dom slashes the car’s tires and smashes the windshield. Meanwhile, a motorcycle courier down the road watches the whole scene.

Part 2, Chapter 18 Summary

Luca Buttaci “interviews” Mitch Maxwell, his business associate, by way of a pool cue to the head in a hidden torture space beneath an Ikea. Despite his annoyance, Mitch understands the necessity of this. Mitch imports the drugs, and Luca sells the drugs, but things have gone wrong lately, so Luca’s suspicions are understandable, especially since Luca has noticed a motorcycle courier hanging around. After Luca lets him go, Mitch decides to visit the Thursday Murder Club.
