Descriere

This story is an unusual glimpse of a mafioso that seldom is seen by others. Joey V. is a story that focuses on a retired member of the Sicilian mafia. Once a high-ranking member of the big five out of New York, he now resides in Minnesota as a successful businessman and part owner of a night club. Through a number of years and through strange circumstances, he ended up in a relationship with a number of wayward girls of the street. His efforts to help them was to put them through schools and training so that they could become more successful in their personal lives and independent from the street life. Things are going quite well for him and the eleven girls for a number of years until one fall night two of the girls were viciously murdered. There seemed to be no reason behind the murders and the police could neither come up with a motive nor any suspects to the crimes. Joey V. didn't accept it; even with the investigations in the hands of the police, he wanted quicker answers and personal retribution for the death of his two girls. He decided to find the answers in his own way. He knew that the police would not go beyond certain established boundaries in their investigation, but Joey V. wasn't shackled with those limitations. He was determined to find out why his girls were killed and by whom, even if he had to go beyond the rules and limits of the police and return to the old Sicilian ways of getting things done. Now that Joey V. is on the hunt for the perpetrators, will he become the judge, jury, and executioner? Will there be anything left over for the police after he is done? Just how far will he go to even the score and gain personal satisfaction? There is a dark dragon that lies sleeping within Joey V. and now someone was foolish enough to stir it from its peaceful slumber.
