Synopsis
Jimmy feels like he needs to prove himself as a Don after his father and grandfather were killed on the same day. While Jimmy was raised in the Mafia, he still has a lot to learn, a lot to fight for and he is willing to take up with shady people to become the King of New York.

My Opinion
King of New York packed in so much action and so much drama. Without exaggerating, there was drama on every page. This book was not boring. The only reason I am taking stars away from my rating is because I found it daunting to keep track of so many characters.

Rating
4 Stars; I liked it and will recommend. It will go on my bookshelf.

An action packed mafia thriller by an author new to me.

Jimmy Martello is from mafia royalty but the murder of his father, the Don, leaves him in danger and exposed.

Can he think and fight his way through the morass of competing gangs and the viper in the nest, his uncle to head up the New York families.

This was an exciting and exhilarating read. Weak on characterisation but strong on action and plot.
