More on Lion on Fire
Main character Brian is shocked to learn that his younger brother not only has been dealing cocaine, but foolishly lost a whole package of it. Now he owes his boss $30,000. If Brian's brother doesn't come up with the money in a few weeks, he's dead.
Brian decides to help. However, he realizes scrapping together that sort of cash in such a short timeframe is nearly impossible legally. So he approaches Dusty, another driver at the limousine company where he works, and asks him about the whispers of lucrative, yet illegal, side jobs he's heard among the staff.
After proving himself trustworthy with an initiation test, Brian is invited to participate in an underground driving network that shuttles wealthy individuals to extravagant, though illicit, gambling events set up in multi-million-dollar Manhattan penthouses.
At first things go smoothly, and Brian pockets a lot of much-needed extra income. However, they turn jarring once he finds out a high-profile Russian gangster is behind the gambling events, and becomes mixed up with him not only professionally, but personally.
With tensions rising, and the fate of Brian's relationships with his parents and girlfriend now entangled with the underground casino, not to mention the life of his brother, he winds up in a position where pulling off a mafia robbery may be his only chance to get himself and his loved ones out of this mess alive and intact.
Lion on Fire is a fun, fast-paced, action-packed gambling thriller, and also an emotionally charged buddy story.
The Amazon #1 bestseller pairs do-gooder Brian with the charmingly wild and alluringly mysterious Dusty, who not only guides Brian through the dangerous world of the mafia casino, but ushers him toward a new and profound view of the world as a whole.
The book is perfect for fans of crime fiction that's edgy while having a soul. A Russian mafia thriller featuring a revenge plan and heist, it's loaded with adrenaline.
However, it is just as touching as it is exciting. At the core of a plot about organized crime and pursuing police officers is the budding friendship of two young men who initially seem very different.
Set in New York City, Lion on Fire will take you on a ride through a colorful cross section of neighborhoods and the lives that populate them. It's written in the tradition of the Manhattan thriller, showcasing both the glamour and the grit of the city.
With this unique story, you'll find yourself quickly turning pages as your pulse rises, while rooting for characters who make their way into your heart.
Ted Galdi is also the author of the novels Elixir and An American Cage, and the short stories A Road to Nowhere and Hazel Is Missing.
