Reseña del libro "Sins of Our Sons (en Inglés)"
Not since Mario Puzo's Godfather has a novel so passionately captured the soul of organized crime as did mob insider Sonny Girard's astounding debut, Blood of Our Fathers. Now Girard brings us the extraordinary successor, an explosive drama of the changes rocking the American Mafia... In one swift stroke, an assassin's bullet elevated Mickey Boy Messina from foot soldier to boss of the Calabra Crime Family - and left him with a legacy of pain and confusion. Now Mickey Boy is walking a delicate line, caught between the thrill of a power he never dreamed would be his, and Frank Halloran, a rock-hard parole officer determined to bring him down; between Don Peppino Palermo, a treacherous old Sicilian boss scheming to change the face of New York's organized crime, and Laurel, Mickey Boy's smart, sexy, no-nonsense wife. For her sake - and for the sake of Hope, the baby daughter he prayed for to end his line of mob inheritance - Mickey Boy is filled with a new ambition: to lead his people away from their criminal tradition and into the legitimate world. But in a dark society laced with misplaced trusts, and peppered with sudden and violent revenge, the road into daylight has always been paved with blood and sorrow... "Sonny's works bring me back to the gritty street life I also left behind. His jail scenes are so clear they make me shudder as I return there." -- Christopher Gambino, Author (My Only Son, Passionate Kiss) "Vividly portrays the American Mafia...Girard captivates the reader with his insider's knowledge...He is an accomplished storyteller." -- Library Journal [Sonny Girard is] "...A man who knows the world of crime." -- Bill O'Reilly, The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News Channel
