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. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. 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.
