Angelo’s business in Newark is being squeezed by a local mob, the Paneladros. His own indiscretions do not help. His wife’s religious confession conducted in a priest’s own private residence further add to his troubles. The constant draining from Angelo’s cash registers drives him to despair. He thinks of alternative means of riches lying across the Atlantic away from the prying eyes of the local hoodlums. Based on hot intelligence hacked out of Rome and supplied by Giacomo, he sets on an action plan to acquire ownership of a London Car Dealership. By deceit, and force if need be. He assigns his four star general and faithful henchman - Johnny ‘4 Fingers’ Bristow - to carry out the complex task. Using a French high-fashion model and a brand new car, Angelo lures this old retired but slowly fading English playboy gentleman now living in Modena and driving a Maserati. The predator: Jaqueline du Bois. The prey: Frank Costanzo. The car: a Bugatti. Most of this drama takes place in Italy ... where else could one exploit the depths of culture, immerse oneself in colourful characters, and feel a part in tough and romantic one-on-one conversations that would keep you captivated, entertained, and at times laughing heartily.

He's not very bright, oozes insensitivity, lacks class, and epitomizes what we now recognize as political incorrectness.

She's kept two little black books that could ruin the men, and that's why she needs an intelligent, tough-as-nails guy to protect her. She doesn't find one, but settles for DeWitt. His loyalties walk both sides of the proverbial street, But Dick is dogged in his determination to get the job done. With the help of some friends and some luck - make that a lot of luck - he just might succeed.

Damaris Kelly is a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl from the small Midwest town of Linn, Missouri, located between the two great cities of Kansas City and St. Louis. After the tragic events that happened to her parents three years previously, she wins the $960 million lottery jackpot. Poverty no longer an issue, she goes on a frenetic spending spree, fulfilling her once-thwarted longing for spending money. She gives generously to the city of Linn as well as her talented musician brother, Bryan. To escape the excessive media attention, she books a four-month around-the-world voyage on the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner, where she meets a mysterious older gentleman and his friend who become her traveling companions. They show her not only the world as it is during the twenty-two port stops but the beautiful reality of the unseen world. Along the way, she encounters danger in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia and learns of the evil, crime, hopelessness, and poverty abounding in the world's largest and wealthiest cities. She learns the essence of true love and is forced to make extremely painful decisions. One lesson she learns is that, no matter how great the wealth, tragedy is often its silent partner.
