THE SECOND BOOK IN THE CRACKLING NEW SERIES FROM RICHARD WAKE, AN AUTHOR WITH MORE THAN 300,000 READERS!

Henri La Rue is a mob boss who still isn’t really in charge of the family business. The titular head of the family is his Uncle Gerard, and the complications caused by that relationship continue to grow and tangle. But there is more than that, more family, more issues.

Because, whether he likes it or not — and he doesn’t like it — both of Henri’s children have joined the family business. He had been against his son Guy performing anything more than tangential mob duties, but time and circumstances changed all of it and brought the son in to work for the father. And if he had been anti-Guy, Henri had been even more dead-set against his daughter Clarice, a financial whiz, getting within a mile of the La Rue family business. Yet, here she was — involved and successful. And Henri didn’t know how to feel.

The exploits of his children tugged at him. The infidelity of his wife infuriated him. A new series of problems with the rival Levine gang family tested his judgment. And through it all, the physical decline of his Uncle Gerard made Henri question exactly what the future might hold for him.
