Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Max Allan Collins brings his acclaimed and unforgettable Perdition saga to a breathtaking conclusion.
Lake Tahoe, 1973. Michael Satariano, now middle-aged, is running a mob casino, his days of killing behind him. So when Godfather Sam Giancana orders him to eliminate a foe, Michael refuses. The hit goes down anyway...and Michael is left holding the bag, becoming the target for bloody retribution. To save his family, Michael agrees to testify in return for a new life in the Witness Protection Program. But nobody can save him from the mob’s wrath...and once again the son of the Angel of Death finds himself on the road, this time with his 16-year-old daughter...his life-long struggle for redemption at odds with his thirst for revenge.
"A gripping, blood-soaked journey. Collins' compelling mix of history, bloodshed and retribution is irresistible. Readers will eat it up and beg for more." Publishers Weekly
"Collins not only gives you a great mob novel, but a serious family drama that blows away anything The Sopranos has done." Bookgasm

Max Allan Collins is the 2017 Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, a Lifetime Achievement Award winner from the Private Eye Writers of America, and the author of many books, including "Road to Perdition," which became the Oscar winning film, and the Quarry novels, the basis for the hit TV series.
This is Collins's third book about Michael Satariano, released a couple of years ago. The first two, ROAD TO PERDITION and ROAD TO PURGATORY, were dark, bloody masterpieces. Both were made into movies. Though this one is not of the same caliber, it's entertaining, as most Mafia-related books are. Michael, now a middle-aged casino manager in Reno, refuses Sam Giancana's request to kill a rival gangster. He's framed for the murder anyhow. Narrator Yuri Rasovsky is a bit off his mark. He reads too slowly, and often his voice cracks when it shouldn't. Nonetheless, his performance doesn't get in the way of the story. And his accents are wholly believable.
