A Member of the Family Author:Nick Vasile Based on his own experiences -- three decades of high-level mob investigations -- Nick Vasile now gives us a novel that reverberates with authenticity. His main character, Paul Dante, is hired by the Washington D.C. to track down their godfather's missing son-in-law. He quickly learns that the young man is not a trusted "mem... more »ber of the family" but an FBI informant. A violent psychopath who kills and tortures for pleasure, Orsini will, if left unchecked, destroy everything in his path -- friends, family and the Bureau itself.
Dante's search takes him from D.C.'s drug-ravaged ghetto streets to the gilded penthouses of the nation's mob families, from the glittering casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City to the secret war councils of the FBI and D.C.'s mafia dons. What Dante finds is a world turned upside-down, where morality is measured in magnum bullets and a lust for revenge, where a blood-crazed federal informant can prove more dangerous than the mafia bosses he has has been paid to put away and the government which falsely believes they can force him to serve their ends.« less
