Inherit the Mob

"[A] hilarious, warm look at one of organized crime's oft-neglected ethnic groups."-The New York Times Book Review William Gordon's dear Uncle Max is dead. Dear, crooked, murderous, notorious Mafioso kingpin Uncle Max. But Pulitzer-winning foreign correspondent Gordon always knew Uncle Max to be generous. Now, even in death, Uncle Max comes through, for he leaves Gordon millions-in the form of a Mafia territory.
The only catch is that Gordon, the cultured journalist, might have to fight to retain his piece of the mob. On the other hand, who wouldn't fight for half a billion dollars? But can an educated Jewish reporter who regularly rubs shoulders with world leaders really succeed as a semi-don? Maybe-if he's greedy enough, and not afraid to get his hands dirty or bloody.
