Johnny Rizz the big shot had important friends. On Friday night he learns that choosing the wrong friends can be a deadly mistake.

It’s business as usual for the Manzetti family—a heist, a con, extortion, a few murders—until little brother Paul decides he wants out. He and Ricky Lasco figure that Johnny Rizzullo’s new Wharfside restaurant is the perfect location for their new strip joint. All Pauly needs to do is kill his controlling brother Artie. Easy, until big-time NY gangster Roy The Nose gives Pauly one week to come up with the five million in cash Artie owes him. Pauly just might meet the deadline if he can get Artie’s bimbo Sylvia to tell him where the loot is stashed.

When Sylvia falls for Rizz and the two join forces, all hell breaks loose for Pauly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Buy Now         

Lust, revenge and murder, the shady history of the 1776 copper reaches through generations with an evil twist.

In 1778 innkeeper Sally Greene sheltered a smith’s apprentice one stormy winter night. Embittered by her arranged marriage to an ambitious and abusive older man, Sally seduced the young smith—an act of defiance that will impact generations. At first light, the traveler gone, she found a copper coin on her pillow.

Now, two hundred and forty years later Terri McGill is a down and out jazz singer with a deadly coke habit and a crowd of bad guys trying to kill her for her lucky penny—the priceless 1776 New Hampshire Copper. The same penny that changed everything for her great-something grandma Sally Greene back in 1778.

Against a bleak winter backdrop, the parallel stories of Sally and Terri unfold into a dark labyrinth of intrigue and mayhem that will keep you guessing until the final page is turned.                          Buy Now
