Sofia never really questioned her upbringing in the home of a ruling Italian family in Rogue City. She has a beautiful girlfriend, the right hand of the family. She lives in a luxurious penthouse and has never wanted for anything. So naturally she finds no reason to question going undercover to infiltrate the head of the rival mafia family's estate. But what she didn't foresee was how mysteriously attractive she would find the regal enemy mob boss, Valencia Bertelli. Sofia quickly discovers the two families' complex criminal histories are riddled with secrets and the woman she's been taught all her life to hate might actually be someone worth loving - that is, if she doesn't kill her first. Take a stroll down the streets of Rogue, through nightclubs, a porn studio and a crooked race track, and witness through Sofia's eyes the sex, violence and betrayals that unfold, as she attempts to navigate a dangerous game in which the potential losses include her family, her love and even her life.

Major League Baseball claims it hasn't had a game fixed by gamblers since 1919. No points have been shaved in the NBA since 1954. And the NFL states no game of theirs has come under outside influence – ever. These, however, are lies. The proof resides in FBI files only recently uncovered and discussed in Larceny Games.

Hollywood Confidential is the first truly in-depth look at the sexy, humorous, violent, and tragic history of the mob in Hollywood from the 1920s, when Joe Kennedy decided to buy a motion picture company, to the 1980s when the last vestiges of mob influence were revealed through investigations of former Screen Actors Guild President Ronald Reagan and his union backers. The revelations continue into the 1980s when the major studios were no longer important, the independents were on the rise, and it was no longer possible to buy, bribe, or blackmail in a meaningful way. There were deals and bad guys, but the mob as it existed was finished in Hollywood.

Joe Flood is the professional assassin known as “the Slugger.” He’s made a career out of murder for hire, but only those who deserve it. Then a routine physical turns into a reckoning. Joe has cancer, his doctor tells him, with maybe six months to live. Joe decides to take fate into his own hands. Accessing the underground network of fellow hit men, he puts out a contract on himself: six million dollars from a Swiss bank account to the professional who will end his suffering quickly. The money and bragging rights for putting away one of the world’s most accomplished assassins draws his colleagues from around the world. The killer’s game is on. But then Joe gets a follow-up from his doctors. He was misdiagnosed. It’s not cancer; he should have many years to live. Except that now there’s no way to call off the hit. Armed with only a few dollars and a credit card, Joe is on the run from a formidable lineup of talented killers. Will the Slugger have what it takes to outrun the competition? “Serious entertainment, a high-octane romp with a suitably cataclysmic climax and a deliciously exotic cast of international assassins.”—The Times (London)
