Not all criminals are caught. Some of the worst, the dirtiest, and most evil go free. Such loathsome types are often best served their justice the old fashioned way, though the hard hands of vendetta.

Private detective John Dunne’s new client wants him to find out who’s threatening his life. John learns that an old Sicilian woman yelled threats of “vendetta” against his client before she was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

Dunne is thrown into the middle of this mix. To make sense of the Palmari Vendetta and learn its terrible story, he will encounter the love of his life, see his partner bombed, and almost lose his own life.

This is the most deadly investigation of his career.
