Dear Readers:
Who is ready for a great read about the mafia, web of deception, and crime that makes you sit on the edge of your seat and not want to stop reading? I know I was and I found it in today's BOOK OF THE DAY, "The Big Vinnie Chronicles" by Kip Meyerhoff. Trust me when I say you are in for a thrill ride. Take a look and enjoy.
by Kip Meyerhoff (Author)
When PI Rollo Michaels does a few "favors" for a gangster friend of his late father, he becomes entangled in the strings of Mafia puppeteer "Big Vinnie" Costello. While on a New York family vacation with his daughter, son, and fiancée, Rollo comes under the scrutiny of the FBI. His subsequent beatdown and arrest for assaulting an FBI agent is witnessed by his children, drawing the unrelenting wrath of his ex-wife, and yet another wedding postponement by his fiancée. Hoping to stave off further federal entanglements, the partners of Michaels & Associates urge Rollo to cut his ties to Don Vincenzo Costello before chaos reigns from coast to coast. But more requests for favors draw Rollo deeper in. A mafia hit team races a multijurisdictional task force to locate a serial killer headed to LA, while the Russian Mafia attempts to assassinate Big Vinnie. Will the resulting maelstrom suck Rollo down?

Kip Meyerhoff nails it again. Good action, good humor, and a good storyline to boot. Kip obviously knows police procedure from personal experience and his cop humor is a plus. Rollo's "Uncle Vinnie" maybe a gangster but he has his good side when he takes care of problems the police are unable to deal with. I will be waiting for the next book with Rollo Michaels.

The characters and the storyline are written so extremely well you feel as if you are a part of the story. When the mobsters were first introduced I was not a fan however, as the story progressed I began to like them more and more. In my opinion, the FBI characters were exactly like you would think they would be kind of shady.
I am looking forward to another book to be published by this author. Kip Meyerhoff is a storyteller you will not be disappointed in.
