Shw wants nothing to do with her mobster father. But he may just save her life!

A dying mobster is worried that his estranged daughter is about to marry someone just like him. He asks Jake Scarne for help. Scarne agrees to look into the matter but warns that he will let the chips fall where they may, romance-wise. Unfortunately, his client is not the only one who dislikes the potential groom. After many innocents die, the private eye feels duty-bound to set things right.

“A LAWRENCE DE MARIA TITLE GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BOOK MARKETPLACE TODAY.” (Florida Weekly); “A MASTER OF THRILLER DIALOGUE.” (Washington Independent Review of Books); “WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL.” (Naples Daily News)

INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM

GREAT BRITAIN
THE END OF US (Cole Sudden Thriller): “Great bunch of characters and fast paced. Enjoyable.”
HOPE (Jake Scarne Thriller): “Another brilliant read in an ever-increasing catalogue of great stories.”
SISTER (Alton Rhode Mystery): “Brilliant characters, a terrific storyline and would recommend this author without any misgivings. Kept me enthralled from beginning to the end.”

GERMANY
ALAS, PARIS (Thriller): “I have read many of De Maria’s books, and find them unfailingly entertaining. Engaging dialogue, venues with enough descriptive detail to interest experienced travelers, scenes played out with gastronomic expertise, all while partnering with attractive and attentive characters of both sexes. And finally, for me, the writing in Chapter 14 was perfection.

INDIA
THE VIRON CONSPIRACY (Jake Scarne Thriller): If you enjoy conspiracy theories, this is the book for you. Well written plot and characters, fast paced, detailed mystery.

Born in New York City, Lawrence De Maria graduated from Villanova University and served in the U.S. Marines. He was a senior writer, editor, and columnist at The New York Times, and was nominated there for a Pulitzer Prize for his business articles. He also wrote for other Times sections, and was anthologized in several books. Later, as an Executive Editor at Forbes Magazine, he wrote and edited an exclusive financial newsletter, co-wrote the Forbes Stock Market Report, and helped manage the company pension plan. De Maria has interviewed many of the nation's senior corporate and political leaders, and has also covered some of the nation's most-notorious criminals in government, the Mob and Wall Street. He was widely quoted by the international media for his efforts in exposing a multi-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.

De Maria's writing, starting with the Amazon best-selling novel, SOUND OF BLOOD, is grounded in real-life experience. He is strongly influenced by Colin Dexter, Ian Fleming, Robert B. Parker, Ed McBain, Michael Connelly, and John D. MacDonald. He has created three unique series of thrillers and mysteries, which critics have praised for their grit, humor and plotting. De Maria has also written standalone novels. His books often have an international flavor, and occasionally delve into high technology and science. Recurring characters, complex villains and strong love stories are also hallmarks of De Maria's work.

Another winner by this author. I have read all his books and loved them all
A note to the author! You should learn when to use the words I and me. Always I before a verb and me after a verb. You failed several times in this book. You are not alone. Many authors and editors apparently do not understand this.

Another great edition to the series. Very easy ready. Scarne is older but still efficient and smart as a whip
