Omnio "King" Falcone is the grandson of Don "The Butcher" Falcone, the feared and powerful boss of Detroit's reclusive Mafia faction, known simply as the "Syndicate." As the last Falcone, King is the heir-apparent to his grandfather's throne. Except there is one problem. A big one. He is a "difetto," not of pure Sicilian blood. As a result, he has been ostracized by much of the Syndicate. Even worse, the Commission, a secret pantheon of Mafia Bosses from all over the country, has named his Machiavellian uncle the new Boss. But King is a brilliant tactician. Even with the odds stacked against him, he rises through the Syndicate ranks. Many of the Family capos have grown to respect and fear him, for he commands a faithful crew of ambitious young wiseguys who have sworn their lives to him.

Any additional comments?
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about this book at first. I was told it was self written and really wasn't expecting much. I'm glad I was wrong! I purchased the eBook because I drive a lot and get tired of listening to radio day in and day out. Normally I catch my self day dreaming while listening to most books so I have to rewind them and listen to what I missed again. Alan does a great job walking you thru the story. At times you almost feel as if you are part of it. This book is full of action and has a great story line. Looking forward to starting volume 2.
I highly recommend buying this book. you won't be disappointed.
