I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

When Chechen mobsters wipe out most of a mafia family, close family friends Nick and Tommy Bracco try to deal out a little justice. Nick is shackled by his job with the FBI, while Tommy gets close to a surviving daughter.

Another entertaining entry in this oddball series.firstreads men-s-adventure4 s Daniel E Eagan8

All the books are great and should be read by everyone. I’m looking forward to some more and I sincerely hope they don’t stop.2 s Karen ReadsALot663 3

Thank you for another Goodreads giveaway. This is at least my third in the series. The writing is crisper although I noticed several typos. I really the FBI and mob working together. Really Tommy in this one. Reminiscent of Jack Reacher. I believe there is enough substance for a TV series.1 Jackie11.1k 160

A short but full of action story. FBI Agent Nick and his Mafia connected cousin try to solve the murder of a Mafia friend. Each turn of the page, keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. First book by this authir, but not the last. intriguing1 Mary864

One of my favorite books read this year! Book is full of action from the very start and doesn't stop. It was hard to put down but hated for it to end. I have read other books in this series and this one was just as great as the other books!1 Ginger44

This was an excellent book. The author keeps his reader so engrossed in the story. I read the book in a day. Did not want to put the book down until I finished it. First time reading this author, but will definitely read more from Mr. Ponzo. 1 John1,187 5

This latest book in this series is a definite winner and will keep you reading right till the end.

This story begins with Sal Perrino in a church where hi winds up getting killed. He knew this was coming because both his sister and brother had already been murdered as well. Flash forward to Baltimore where Tommy Braccio is meeting Cara, Sal's daughter. There is knock on the door of the hotel where Cara was staying. In that instance there was to be an attempt on her life. Tommy was able to ward off the attackers and after the police arrived, Tommy was taken, but through his cousin Nick, he was rescued after the fake officer was arrested.

The next day, Tommy and Cara were on a flight to Arizona for Cara's relatives funeral. At the funeral, an attempt was made to kill the funeral attendees, but it was averted by Matt, Nick's FBI partner. The story continues and lays out the plans that the crime group that were responsible for Sal's death and what they hopped to gain. Nick and Matt along with the local FBI hoped to make arrests of this goup. The steps that both sides took in trying to accomplish their goals was explained quite well.

To discover who and why the crime group wanted the Perrino family dead, then you need to read this book. Evelyn1,307 3

I won this book back in December 2021 from Goodreads Giveaway - Amazon Kindle. I know I did a review but it seems to have disappeared so I will go back over my Notebook in my Kindle and revive it. It is more about the mafia than the FBI but then there is Tommy! This book was sad but so good, a page-turner! The Russian Mafia makes the USA Mafia look child's play but in this book the USA WIN! I love Tommy's purple toothpick! I love Ponzo uses drones in his books. It has always been the Russians' desire to eliminate the Sicilians - Tommy & Nick are. And then for the Russians to threaten Julia & Tommy is horrible! Julia is upset but Julie knew all about Nick when she married him! Love will prevail! It is interesting when the abuse of children (not Tommy) explains why some adults are warped - 80% of all kids who drew a picture of their doorknob were physically abused - think about that a minute. The last thing they see afterwards is . . . I have read all of Gary Ponzo's books and will continue in the future!!!amazon-kindle giveaways Maliha13

Wholesome ending but could use more action

I received this book free from a goodreads giveaway and finally read it. This had a good timeline and conflict and resolution, however the book deserves more action than what there is. Nick deserves to have more turmoil when he was questioning if he should go rogue or not. Along with that, his family doesn’t really get a conclusion in the book. R J Mckay867 27

This story surrounds the murder of Mafia boss Sal Perrino. FBI agent Nick Bracco and his Mafia-connected cousin Tommy Bracco know who killed Sal, but they have to balance Tommy’s vengeance and Nick’s justice without becoming the next victims.
Filled with double-crosses and spinning plot twists, the story follows Nick and Tommy as they attempt to trap the killers and the person behind the assassination. It’s a page-turner that keeps you wanting more.

I have never been disappointed reading a Gary Ponzo book, but this one may have been the best one yet. The Phoenix mafia, Chechen thugs, and the FBI; a thrilling page-turner, with something happening in each chapter. And with a twist in a restaurant that was simply masterful - bringing up an innocuous fact from an earlier chapter and tying everything together. I’ve read 4 of Gary’s books, and can’t wait for the next Nick Bracco book. Bravo! MaryKaye244 2

I have read most of the Nick Bracco thrillers, but this one was not as action packed for some reason.
I always enjoy Tommy and his connections to the mafia. Nick always seems to be in a gray area of right and wrong, but gets the job done. I just wanted more excitment.

Also, the proofreading could have been alot better. There are sentence errors and repeat words.

I received this book free from Goodreads for a honest opinion. Cathy283 4

This is a Goodreads Kindle Giveaway and the Fifth Nick Bracco Thriller I have read. As thrillers go they are for the most part light on violent descriptions and heavy on content. Nick is an FBI agent who has a cousin somewhat in Organized crime. But they often work together to solve the current crime Nick is working on. This is a wonderful Series for me as I love Gary Ponzo's writing style with thrills and humor and family values.giveaway-wins M.K. StableyAuthor 4 books11

Another home run!

I love the Nick Bracco series. This one was just as great as all the others. I'm hoping Gary is onto the next one as I type. All of these books suck you in. You can't help but love the characters. Nick, Matt and Tommy rock. I swear you won't be disappointed. Liz1,792 59

If you're into enjoyable action thrillers, you can always count on the Nick Bracco series for a good read. This book is no exception. Same great characters and lots of excitement.

I d it. Good characters, visuals, suspense, action and story. Where this one fell short was too many editing oversights. Joan Mitchell346 30
