Obsession

"You better grow up strong, kid."

Those were the last words Andrea Greco II heard from the stranger who pulled him from a brutal alleyway beating.

Andrea was only a boy then-frightened, bloodied, and helpless. But in that brief moment, he found someone to admire.

Someone to chase.

Then the stranger disappeared without a trace, leaving behind nothing but a memory Andrea could never forget.

Ten years later, Andrea was no longer the helpless child he once was.

At twenty, he is the infamous boss of the Greco Italian mafia, ruling the city through fear, violence, and absolute control. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Andrea has everything he could ever want.

Everything except the one thing he has spent a decade searching for.

The man who saved him.

Haunted by dreams of the stranger-some innocent, others disturbingly intimate-Andrea's fascination has long since twisted into obsession.

Then, during a routine shakedown, he crosses paths with a new parish priest who refuses to bow to the city's underground powers.

Andrea goes to confront him.

And comes face-to-face with the man he's been searching for.

The same face.

The same voice.

The same man who once pulled him from the darkness.

Only now, he wears the collar of God.
