Book description
In this riveting follow-up to Mafia Summer, Vinny Vesta's
torrid affair with his co-pilot's widow brings him, unwittingly and
unwillingly, back into the family business. The only question is
whether he can escape it again, with his life. Black Widow is a
gripping page-turner that brings to life the decadent bachelor-pad
living of the Blue Angels, old-Hollywood grandeur, and the
maneuverings of Genovese as he takes over the Luciano crime family and
alters the face of the New York Mob.
