Mafia Mountain Code: Crime/Thriller

Rate this book
Carmine “Gotta” Moretti was the undisputed prince of the Philadelphia mafia, a man whose ruthlessness was rivaled only by his intelligence. But when his own family—led by the ultimate betrayal of his father—tries to execute him, Carmine is forced to trade his tailored silk suits for the stark anonymity of the Witness Protection Program.

He is reborn as David Miller, a ghost exiled to the isolated, rugged mountains of West Virginia. Stripped of his power and his fortune, David is given a job intended to be a working as a correctional officer at Blackwood Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison carved into the Appalachian ridges.

The mountain life is meant to be a sanctuary, but the past refuses to die. When a familiar face from the Philadelphia streets—a rival assassin named Vinny Corelli—is transferred to Blackwood, David realizes his cover is blown. As Corelli quietly orchestrates a massive prison riot to smoke out the former prince, David is forced to unleash the criminal strategist he was, not the quiet guard he pretends to be.

With the prison descending into anarchy and his own life hanging in the balance, David Miller must rely on the dark expertise of Carmine Moretti. He has to play a new game of survival under the watchful eyes of the state, proving that the only code that matters inside the cage is the Mountain Code: use what you have to survive the winter.
