UnLucky Double: Part One

by Darryl R. Breland

A fictional character grows up in the New Orleans Mafia, but his uncanny resemblance to infamous New York mobster, Lucky Luciano causes him to be drafted by the Mafia in New York and Italy. Johnny Cado is the Unlucky Double. He and his wife, Angila, rob the mob and find sanctuary in France by living under new identities, until the Germans invade and occupy France. They get into trouble with the Nazis and find themselves having to participate in gruesome Nazi medical experiments. If you enjoy reading about the mafia, World War II and with a hint of science fiction, I believe you will enjoy this book. The first in a series which will cover the globe and involve characters from Al Capone to Adolf Hitler.

This was an interesting read, weaving elements of thrill, mystery, suspense, and political action, spanning across continents. The narration was pacy and characters were carved out well.
