The Fall of South Bridge
List Price: $14.99
An organized crime novel inspired by actual events in Troy, NY, The Fall of South Bridge tells of the intricate and dynamic relationship that develops between young mafia apprentice Johnny Bellini and his larger than life uncle, Donnie Carelli, who sits near the helm of the Denoboli crime family of upstate New York.
It is the late 1980's, and the Denoboli's are at their pinnacle of power when they are blind sided by the force of wily DEA agent Rick Mackenzie and his quest to take out the family and their main source of income, cocaine. His first target is Donnie Carelli, whom, with the help of an informant, he sets up for a futile, yet punishing, city alleyway ambush. While questioning his longevity, Donnie reconnects with his sister, brother in law, and three nephews, the oldest of which, Johnny, a high school junior, is realizing that his relatives control a criminal empire that has operated for over fifty years. When Donnie starts pondering retirement, he finds that his boss and uncle, Rocco Denoboli, is plotting a move against him. As the wheels of treachery begin to turn, college freshman Johnny joins the family, and carries a secret agenda that could destroy the Denoboli's and rock the foundation of the entire city. Will he be evasive enough to carry out his ambiguous orders and save his uncle Donnie before it's too late?
