After enemies murdered his family and plundered his empire, a legendary
Mafioso emerged from prison to a fateful dilemma: Rebuild or seek
revenge?
Montreal godfather Vito Rizzuto sat helpless in a Colorado penitentiary
while learning that unidentified assassins had killed his eldest son,
and likely heir, and then murdered his father. Subsequent deaths of
Vito's loyal associates filled the news throughout hissentence. From
their comfortable base in the Toronto area, the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta
seemed the obvious culprits; but, as internationally bestselling crime
writers Peter Edwards and Antonio Nicaso reveal in this compelling and
far-reaching investigation, many unseen hands were at work. In 2012,
Vito Rizzuto emerged from prison, a sixty-six-year-old man who could
carefully reconstruct his crime family or damn the consequences and
punish his betrayers. From the events leading to his imprisonment,
through the bloodshed following his release, to his mysterious death in
2013 and morerecent efforts to continue his family's dominance, Bad
Blood is the final word in the story of a twenty-first-century criminal
mastermind.
