BLUE-COLLARING A KILLERβ¦ You may not think it, but life moves fast in northeastern Ohio. Just six months ago, I was down-and-outβstewing in jail and getting dumped by my pit-bull of a wife. Now, Iβm back on my feet renovating a bar, delivering pizza, and thinking of cutting my hair. Just when Iβm getting comfortable, the you-know-what hits the fan. There I am, sitting in Brewsterβsβeating my Number Four breakfast with the guysβwhen in walks the devil herself: my soon-to-be-ex-wife Marylou, high hair and all. She asks me to help her move. I say no. End of story. Rightβ¦ That night, a man is knocked off in my own trailer park, and whoβs caught holding the gun? Marylou. Drunk as a skunk. She doesnβt remember a thing. She may be mean as a junkyard dog, but Marylouβs no killer. The copsβmighty familiar with my reputation for butting inβwarn me to butt out. But, Iβm stubborn. And no oneβs getting away with murder in my backyardβ¦
