In this emotional short story by number one bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, one man's past drives him to take a stand against his neighbourhood's criminal underbelly, whatever the personal cost.
When amiable Italian immigrant Pigeon Tony discovers that local drug dealers are pressuring his young neighbour into joining their ranks, he resolves to put an end to the crime wave before it can take over the community. Pigeon Tony knows the law isn't always on the right side, but it takes only one person to rally a revolution.

I enjoyed Pigeon Tony's Last Stand. This is a well written, engaging, and entertaining crime story with a lot of heart. I enjoyed the fact that Pigeon Tony is able to unite the whole community, mostly made of immigrants together to stand against a common enemy. This was an entertaining piece.
