The second in the Danny Ryan trilogy is even better than the first. In the first Danny fights and loses a mob turf war in Providence, R.I. In order to save himself he runs to the West Coast with his infant son to find a better life. This story moves between San Diego, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He takes along several of his lieutenants who he constantly admonishes to keep a low profile and find honest work. He then violates his own rules when he falls in love with a movie star and his whereabouts become fodder for the tabloids. The story moves on from there with several unusual twists.
This book is really well written. The plot is very entertaining and progresses quickly at an even pace. The supporting characters are as interesting as Danny. There is not a lot of wasted dialogue or descriptive passages. The author gets his points across with an economy of words. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy thrillers. There is plenty of graphic violence and sex so the book is not for the faint of heart. I would also suggest you read the first volume, if you have not done so, before you read this. There are several references to that story which are not fully explained. It too is an excellent book.
