Historical
Bloodline: a gritty historical novel about the Mafia in
1920s New York, from Edgar Award-winning author Warren Murphy. The Falcones are an immigrant family living in New York City
in 1920. Their patriarch, Tony, is a respected policeman.
His sons, Tommy and Mario, both served in the Great War and
are now upstanding citizens-a cop and a priest. But their
cousin Nilo has a dark past, and he fled to America after
causing several deaths in a fight in Italy. Nilo soon falls in with Don Maranzano, a Mafia boss who
comes from his hometown in Italy. Maranzano grooms Nilo as a
"real estate broker," but after a few months, Nilo is
offered the chance to do some serious work. He becomes a
useful still-wrecker, assassin, and skilled criminal. The
papers give him the name "Kid Trouble." Tommy and Mario try
to turn a blind eye, but it's hard to hide his underworld
affiliations. As conflicts in the city begin to erupt into a violent war
involving gangsters from all parts of the country, Tommy and
Mario struggle to stay out of the dark world into which Nilo
has dragged the family. But when things take a turn for the
worse, the Mafia may be the only place for them to go.
