Book Description
Incredibly wealthy people have been raping and pillaging rain forests and virgin lands with impunity. Numerous innocent people have been killed because of this avarice. A group that calls itself the Punishing Avenger is killing and maiming these wealthy people where greed means more to them than human life. CIA agent, Rick Jefferies, is assigned to investigate these atypical crimes. This murderous group attempts to portray themselves as modern day Robin Hoods, protecting the innocent while punishing the guilty. To enhance that media image, they avoid any collateral damage, while rewarding their victims. Powerful politicians increasingly fear one of their affluent contributors might be the next target. Rick, a lone wolf agent, is assigned an unwanted partner as the stakes rise. Rick does not buy into the Robin Hood and his merry men portrayal. He and his new partner hunt down the killers from Las Vegas, to a Mississippi riverboat and finally to the outskirts of Dallas, dodging bullets and to bring true justice to the Punishing Avenger.

Sicilian Avengers
Author: Luigi Natoli
Publisher: Radius Book Group
ISBN: 1635769485
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1365
Book Description
A thrilling Sicilian saga about the legendary secret sect purported to be forerunners of the Mafia, translated into English for the first time. Emerging from the dark streets and subterranean caves of Palermo, the Beati Paoli, masked and hooded, mete out their own form of justice to counter the unfettered power and privilege wielded by the aristocracy. For the voiceless, weak, and oppressed, the Beati Paoli are defenders and heroes. Reminiscent of a Dumas novel, Sicilian Avengers is a vibrant, atmospheric fresco of early eighteenth-century Palermo. Onto the stage of the ancient city, Blasco da Castiglione, a bold, brash, orphan adventurer, arrives on a quest to discover his origins and seek his destiny. But this fearless, swashbuckling D’Artagnan-esque hero unwittingly gets caught up in a devious and murderous succession plot involving a powerful noble family. When the Beati Paoli hear about this plot to usurp a rightful inheritance, they spring into action. Their shadowy machinations entangle the charismatic Blasco, who crosses paths with a cast of characters that test his loyalty and resolve in the pursuit of his true identity. The historical accuracy of the novel is complemented by the most meticulous description of Sicily’s capital city ever written. Action-packed and laced with intrigue and chivalrous duels, Sicilian Avengers is a tale of love and hatred, friendship and betrayal, suffering and retribution. As French critic Jean Noël Schifano said, Natoli's novel is “the fifth historical monument of contemporary Italian literature.” This eBook includes the full Book One and Book Two saga plus an afterword by Umberto Eco.
