Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. New York City, October 1962: The Cuban missile crisis threatens the world as a drug war consumes the Mafia. Caught up in its midst is Davey Rossi, former lightweight champion and son of Don Vince Rossi. As Davey trains for his comeback to regain the title, he learns of a secret kept by Vince and his brother, Johnny,--a betrayal that split the Rossi family and caused its tragic involvement in the long-buried wars between the Jewish and Italian gangsters of the 1920s and 30s. Forced into the Life, haunted by the past, Davey seeks answers in the glamorous roaring 1920s. He searches for the reclusive stage legend Dolly Irving, who knew the mobsters of that decade, and he falls in love with Julie Alpert, a beautiful tax attorney whose covert agenda threatens to bring down the Rossi family. Obsessed by a mystery in which nothing is as it seems, Davey learns that to be free he must destroy the lies of the past and the dons he has known his whole life. Seller Inventory # 520
