Loyalty by Lisa Scottoline-408 pages
Franco dreams of owning his own plantation instead of toiling for someone else and getting nowhere. He would do anything for the Baron he works for. One day the baron asks him to kidnap a little boy named Dante; unknowingly setting into motion the making of the world's first Mafia family. A book that takes you to the early history of Sicily and the rigid class system that ruled at the time. It gives us a glimpse into a horrible madhouse where Dante is held for many years. Gratefully there are also good people that come to his aid...but they find him too late for his family.
Lots of characters and family dynamics. Violence, corruption and heartbreak. A good read, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
