"A story of murder, money, and revenge."Synopsis: In 1901, the Italian Mafia’s infamous Ceconi family broke timeworn codes of honor to brutally slaughter the Cagliari, Bari, and Ragusa families. Luciano Cagliari and the other few survivors escaped to America, where they swore to take revenge on their families’ murderers. As time passes, Luciano and his adopted son Primo Bari collude to launder money, sell whiskey during Prohibition, and maintain control over the American Mafia’s five families, all with one primary goal in mind: vendetta. After decades of scheming, even Primo’s unique criminal expertise might not be enough to bring the Ceconis to justice without the benefit of young computer genius Jeffrey Steele, who has unwittingly put his life on the line for what he thought was a legitimate business opportunity. Half corporate thriller and half Mafia legend, Banking on Vendetta move effortlessly between the human drama of its extensive cast of characters and the intricacies of their less-than-lawful activities. It treats its readers to a snapshot of every aspect of Mafia life, from the sordid to the transcendent.
