Publisher's Summary

This is the story of Chicago's ruthless and tireless Mafia. The intensely real characters - the brutal overlords, their faithful lackeys, and their vengeful enemies - all collide in acts of loyalty, lust, greed, and death.

Power hungry Don Jimmy Collucci is out to become the kingpin of Chicago's "Honored Society." His rise to the top can only be thwarted by one man - a man fueled by revenge who is hell-bent on bringing Collucci's infamous organization down: the "Black Warrior," Jessie Taylor. When ambitions collide, guns are drawn and blood is spilled. This gritty crime fiction tale is the original Mafia story.

Loved the narration story wasn’t the greatest

I got lost in the names because they were so similar. Couldn’t clearly distinguish the characters. The performance made up for the lackluster story.

Moby Dick - Hood Style

This was another good story from Slim. I enjoyed it though the ending was a little dry. This story reminded me of Moby Dick, the hood version!

the narrative was excellent the plot followed really smoothly. The characters seemed very unbelievable but they lived that life. A good listen.
