The most spine-chilling gangster, Frank Mooney, has seized hold of Rock Island by fear. He controls the police, the politicians, and citizens alike with blackmail and terror all-the-while profiting from his underground speakeasies, gambling joints, and prostitution ring. But all of this is not enough. Frank Mooney wishes to steal control over all of the tri-cities, starting first with his well established, yet much more likable rival, Joe Bybee.
Frank Mooney and Joe Bybee fight for dominance over the area, Mooney by force, and Bybee by guile, but both men have guns, blackmail, and deception at their fingertips. What the opponents fail to realize is that there is a third contender in their games. Known only as "The Scorpion", a vicious leader from the forgotten third city of Moline, threatens to take over Rock Island and Davenport as well. Will Frank and Joe get stung?

His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine.

Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away.

You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.

But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
