<p><b>“If you like your crime hard and fast, Kalteis is for you.” — <i>Globe and Mail</i></b></p>
<p><b>A surefire plan that will end his marital and money problems in one swoop … what could go wrong?</b></p>
<p>Lenny Ovitz has plenty of secrets, and his wife, Paulina, has become a liability. His life would be so much better without her in it.</p>
<p>It’s the mid-’60s in Toronto, and Lenny works for a ruthless gangster whose travel agency is a front for a collections racket in the Kensington Market area. Lenny’s days are spent with his partner, Gabe, terrorizing the locals into paying protection on their shops and their lives. On the side, Lenny and Gabe co-own a tenement block that they bought with dirty money borrowed from shady individuals. Overextended, Lenny plans to pay them back with more borrowed money from other loans and by re-mortgaging his house, without the knowledge of his wife.</p>
<p>Tired of his lies and scheming, Paulina demands a divorce. Lenny is certain she’s going to take him for everything, leaving him unable to pay the debt on the tenement block. And that’s likely to get him pitched off one of his own rooftops. Lenny would rather <i>get</i> than be <i>gotten</i>, so he comes up with a surefire way to end both his marital and money problems — Paulina’s going to have to get whacked.</p>
