This book uses known figures from the Chicago mob along with new characters to weave a story of loyalty, terror, family and revenge. The characters were well-developed and interesting, although some were a little one-dimensional. The story was somewhat imaginative and interesting. I found the style of writing to be a bit uneven, The further you get into the book, the less detail is supplied and things go by more quickly. Nickole becomes the Mafia Queen, but quickly comes to an unexpected ending.
