Synopsis

This is a story about a young Sicilian, who is grandson to the "Capo-dei-capi" (head of head's) to all the Sicilian crime bosses. Benetto Castellrosa Tamburo is his name, and after an upbringing by his grandfather in Sicily, he returns to America in order to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. He's a genius and also a tyrant; making his grandfather proud of him, but then he meets a young Romany Gypsy girl by the name of Mariannina Malanga in the strangest of ways.It is from that point that Benetto embarks on a series of life changing events. Not only does this girl start bringing him from the bitter, evil shell he'd encased himself in; she also brings to light nothing but trouble and adversity. He comes to loggerheads with his grandfather in the worst possible way and aside of this, it also puts Benetto's family to war with another Sicilian mafia family that dominates New York, after sparking a feud that has been going on for long before Benetto was even born.However, unlike any normal, predictable mafia story, this one has a more spiritual side. It's amazing how powerful a Gypsy curse can be when it comes to fighting this war between the families, and as cynical as Benetto is, he is forced to see past his own arrogance; to a world of magic he just cannot explain without admitting to himself that unseen powers do exist beyond even his control. A gripping tale of vengeance, murder, rape, blackmail and magic...the second in a series of four enjoyable books.

Biographie de l'auteur

Claire Fenlon-Booth is currently a mother of three who was born and lives in Wrexham, North Wales. Although her passion for writing started at a very early age, she began writing "In Vengeance Will Kill" not long after leaving school in 1993 but re-edited it completely in 2000 and after a little tweaking, completed in 2004. Aside of writing various short stories and also a detective/barrister series, which she will be looking to publish soon; she also embarked on a law degree in 2005; having first done a part foundation degree in Forensic science. "In Vengeance Will Kill" is the only work she has written that is based in America, but through her own research and work through the English Legal and Criminal Justice System, she has kept further works to the United Kingdom. Working with the police, various members of the judiciary, legal professionals and offenders, she has been able to gain a more realistic insight into the workings of the system in order to produce high quality fiction works. Her imagination has always been her hobby and her life and personal background speaks for itself with regards to her credentials as a writer. She doesn't write because she's been taught to write...she writes because the passion is already there and her research simply puts facts to the ideas she has.
