Overview

They thought the Detroit Mob War was about money... Max Denaro is a top guy in the most powerful Italian Mafia family called the Scalici Squad. So whatever Max wants, he gets. And the notorious Detroit mobster wanted Sofia Spera since he first laid eyes on her singing her heart out on stage at the grand opening of the Book-Cadillac Hotel. Once married to the mob, nobody, including her over-protective father, Giacomo, can keep her safe from the life-threatening danger that comes along with being Mrs. Denaro. To stay alive, Sofia must use the only weapons available during the Roaring Twenties - her smarts, sexuality, and stellar aim. But, in doing so, Sofia also ignites the infamous Detroit Mob War. Seen through the eyes of an eighteen-year-old woman, Giacomo's Daughter is not your typical Mafia story. The first of a trilogy, the Savone Sisters' debut novel gives an honest, gripping portrayal of an Italian Mafia wife swept into a dark criminal underworld during Prohibition in the volatile yet vibrant Detroit, Michigan.
