38

Morris Bellamy turns onto Sycamore Street. He’s aware that his life is rapidly narrowing to a point. All he has is a few hundred stolen dollars, a stolen car, and the need to get his hands on Rothstein’s notebooks. Oh, he has one other thing, too: a short-term hideout where he can go, and read, and find out what happened to Jimmy Gold after the Duzzy-Doo campaign put him at the top of the advertising dungheap with a double fistful of those Golden Bucks. Morris understands this is a crazy goal, so he must be a crazy person, but it’s all he has, and it’s enough.

There’s his old house, which is now the notebook thief’s house. With a little red car in the driveway.

‘Crazy don’t mean shit,’ Morris Bellamy says. ‘Crazy don’t mean shit. Nothing means shit.’

Words to live by.
