Doc Savage: Glare Of The Gorgon (The Wild Adventures Of Doc Savage Book 19) - Plot & Excerpts
But his Neapolitan parents had immigrated to America before he was born. When he came squawling into the world, Giuseppe Athalentia Shinola had done so in the city of Chicago. That, conceivably, had made all the difference.His childhood was not remarkable. He had got into no more trouble than any other shaver his age. Growing up near the stockyards, young Giuseppe had naturally been drawn to the sprawling slaughterhouses when it came time to make his first living. A beef killer is a man with a peculiar occupation. The beef killer stands at a chute in the stockyards and sticks a thing like an icepick into the base of the beef’s brain. Most beef killers use a hammer, though.Giuseppe Athalentia Shinola—he was going by the name of “Joe” by that time—became a beef killer. He had a knack for it. He hadn’t minded all the blood. In truth, he rather enjoyed it. He customarily wore a heavy smock and wading boots to protect his street clothes and shoes from the constant splashing of bovine blood.
