As a fifteen-year-old, Giancarlo Lo Manto learned about injustice the
hard way. His father was gunned down by the Camorra, the murderous clan
run by Don Nicola Rossi. When his mother moved him back to his family's
ancestral home in Naples, Gian found himself face-to-face with the
source of the mob's strength.
Today, twenty-three years later, he is a dogged detective on the Naples
police force, homicide division, the most dangerous beat in Europe. He
is the nemesis of all who export evil, the man who stops it before it
spreads overseas. His efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Pete Rossi, the son of Don Nicola, has decided to bring Gian back to
America--permanently. When Gian learns his teenage niece, Paula, has
gone missing in Manhattan, he cancels his much-needed vacation to Capri.
Gian's homecoming will be anything but smooth. Someone must always watch
his back, and Detective Jennifer Fabini gets the job. The handsome,
reserved, unrelenting Gian is a revelation: an irritant and a
temptation. Together the two must solve a disappearance that appears to
be a kidnapping...but turns out to be a deadly trap.
