The powerful mob leader knew that selling drugs brings heat. Local and federal heat. It's 1974 and Big Red Fortunato's order that no drugs are to be sold in Queens has been broken. He discovers that the powerful Sicilian mafia has defied his rule and is selling drugs with utter disregard for who he is. Red has to stop them without starting a war he may not win. Tarzan's recently deceased father bequeathed his house to him, but upon visiting it Tarzan discovers squatters living in it... and they refuse to leave. Red visits Sicily under the pretext of scouting for movie locations. He arranges a meeting with Antonio Andolino the man in charge of the burgeoning Sicilian drug trade, with the hope of convincing him not to ship drugs to Queens. To hedge their bets in case the talks fail, Sicilian mobsters kidnap two of Red's valuable assets to use as leverage against him. Red has to figure out how to get them back unharmed. The multi-award winning (10 awards) best selling series continues with the publication of the 9th Starlight Club book.
