As a poor young farm boy in Sicily, Michael Nunziato hid
and watched while his entire family was brutally murdered.
Soon after, he was taken in by a local Sicilian mafia
family. He then adopted a new name and persona -- Michael
Tiranno (Italian for tyrant) -- and learned all he could
about the world of money and high finance. The only thing
Michael had left from his old life was an unusual gold
medallion his father cherished. Inscribed with the Latin
words "To Dream...To Dare...To Win," the extraordinary
medallion, believed to be a relic of the Roman Empire and
King Midas, was to become Michael's guiding talisman in
everything he set out to accomplish in life.
Now, Michael has become the amazingly wealthy owner of the
most extravagant and luxurious casino resort ever to open
in Las Vegas -- THE SEVEN SINS. The lavish project has been
a big gamble on Michael's part, but he adamantly believes
that you can't obtain big rewards if you don't take big
risks.
However, on the eve of the grand opening of THE SEVEN SINS,
an old enemy is masterminding the takedown of Michael
Tiranno and all he holds dear. Will Michael be able to
track down the person intent on destroying his empire
before it's too late? Or will his dark, mysterious past and
its connection to the medallion be exposed?
Jon Land has penned an epic thriller about the
complex, rags-to-riches life of an exceptional man involved
in the international world of high-stakes wealth and power --
and the effect he has on those he comes in contact with
along the way. Even though Michael's actions are not always
nice, his relentless quest to confront his insidious enemy
effortlessly draws you in and keeps you quickly turning
pages to learn the outcome. Land's exceptional writing
talents shine in this first book of a thrilling new series.
(Note: The main character of THE SEVEN SINS is inspired
by and loosely based on a real person -- Fabrizio Boccardi,
an international investor and entrepreneur who's currently
building a multimedia and gaming empire that will someday
include a casino and resort called The Seven Sins in Las
Vegas. Of course, all the illegal aspects of the story are
pure fiction.)
The ancient motto, inscribed in Latin on a mysterious
golden medallion, recovered from the ruins of the Roman
Empire, has guided Michael Tiranno to heights few men have
achieved. Once an orphaned farm boy in his native Sicily,
Michael made millions by mastering the intricate world of
high finance, and is now the fabulously wealthy owner of
Las Vegas' The Seven Sins, the grandest and most
extravagant casino in the world. The lavish resort
embodies the personal philosophy fueled by his lust for
power: the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But he also has secrets, secrets that he and Naomi Burns,
his driven corporate attorney and confidante, have gone to
great lengths to bury. When an enemy from the past
threatens to undermine everything he has built, his dark
history must now be uncovered. Together, they must tear
open painful scars in Michael’s heart and soul to discover
the true identity of their unknown foe—before all of Las
Vegas pays the price for Michael Tiranno’s realized dreams.
