    About this series

    Relocated to a resort community in North Carolina, the Carrullo family is existing--but not much more. An attempt to boost the spirits of the family matriarch results in a widely successful independent business and an out-of-control partner who brings the family unwanted press coverage and notoriety. Unfortunately, the notoriety attracts the attention of a foreign head of state with an axe to grind. Before the worst can come to pass, the family is relocated once again, this time to their original hometown. This doesn't stop a determined foreign enemy who tries a different approach to solve his "Carrullo problem."

    The Carrullo family is a multi-generation member of American organized crime. Their expertise is prized by the other families for those circumstances when internal family problems cannot be resolved within the family. The Carrullos are well known within organized crime but not the general public. However, an American intelligence agency discovers their existence. Rather than inform the law enforcement establishment, the agency discovers the Carrullos are an ideal solution to a challenging problem. The Carrullos unwillingly take on the agency as a client to avoid criminal prosecution.

    Unfortunately, a Russian Federation intelligence organization discovers the Carrullos as well. They want the exclusive use of the family's talent, and they're willing to go to extremes to make that happen.

      Series: Few challenges prove more nettlesome than a change in family business leadership, especially when the family business is murder-for-hire. The Carrullo Family is in transition: Father-in-law, family patriarch, lead assassin, is giving way to his new son-in-law. Dad has carried forward the artistry he learned from his father. His new son-in-law was a former special forces operator and sniper in the armed forces trained in speed, stealth, and function. Four generations living in the same household from the oldest, "Nana," to the recent newborns--all of whom are involved in the family business. Some by choice. Some not. This Book: Logan Bell accepts a contract assassination believing it originates from one of the U.S. organized crime families. Unbeknownst to him, the CIA has coopted the method by which these contracts are communicated, and the order has actually come from the CIA instead. The CIA has ordered the hit as a favor to the U.K.'s famed MI-6. And, if that's not unusual enough, MI-6 undertook the ask as a favor to a member of the Royal Family.  When the deed is done, everyone appears to get what he sought. A prominent member of the Royal Family has repaid a debt to an old friend. MI-6 facilitated the request without having to get involved. And, the CIA has demonstrated it can command a highly trained assassin without his being any the wiser. But what does Logan Bell receive in this bargain while still in London? He's forced to flee London believing the Russian mob wants him dead. Both Logan and his sister escape to the country into the rural Cotswolds hoping to disappear in plain sight. Unfortunately, there are others who have something else in mind for them entirely.
