Betrayal, Lust and Action Fill Story of Former CIA Agent Tangled in Mob Feud
Dayton, OH (PRWEB) July 9, 2007 -- Though most people would never wish to be caught in the dangerous scenario of a turf war between two powerful mafia families, author Tim Smith proves that it's certainly entertaining to read about someone else in this perilous situation, with his new book, "The Vendetta Factor" (ISBN 9781424141258, PublishAmerica, 2006).
"The Vendetta Factor" continues Smith's award-winning series featuring former CIA agent, Nick Seven. After leaving the CIA, Seven settled down in Key Largo, Florida, where he runs a Gulf-front club with a gorgeous former co-worker from Barbados. When Seven does an innocent favor for his gambling friend Rock Moretti, he never dreamed he would become caught up between two mob families fighting for control of the lucrative Miami market, and a federal prosecutor with a personal agenda.
Seven is a cynical, cool maverick with no desire to return to his former life of globe-trotting violence, but in "The Vendetta Factor" he must call upon skills from his past career to survive mounting pressure from both the mob and the law. The intrigue continues to rise, as Seven discovers he is the target of a hired assassin and realizes that he has been betrayed by someone he thought he could trust.
"The Vendetta Factor" is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane's classic crime fiction, with the hard-boiled masculine lead and sometimes graphic sex and violence. Smith also weaves satire and humor into his action-packed book with skill, including a running argument between two hit men about whether Frank Sinatra or Julius LaRosa had the biggest impact on pop culture.
The title comes full circle when Seven realizes that he has his own vendetta and a personal thirst for revenge. An ideal summer read, "The Vendetta Factor" draws readers in with an action-packed plot and talented classic hero, who is at once both admirable for his strengths and lovable for his veiled softer side.
