    About this ebook

    It was just another day for mob boss Giovanni Luciana until he took his car for a drive.

     

    On a calm summer evening, Giovanni takes his young son Luca for drive. A car pulls alongside, and when the window comes down, the driver is holding a gun. He aims, showering Daniela's car with gunfire. Who is this man? Why has he taken Daniela? And will Luca survive?

    Cheryl Bradshaw

    Born and raised in Southern California, Cheryl Bradshaw became interested in writing at a young age, but it was almost two decades before she put pen to paper. In 2009 Bradshaw wrote Black Diamond Death (Book One: Sloane Monroe series). Within six weeks it entered the top 100 in two different categories and remained in the top 100 for over a year. Since that time, Bradshaw has written three additional novels in the series, and is now hard at work on the fourth. In 2013, Bradshaw introduced a new pranormal thriller series: Addison Lockhart, the first book titled Grayson Manor Haunting. Bradshaw is the founder of IWU on Facebook, a writers group with over 1,800 members. In August 2012, Bradshaw was named one of Twitter's seven best authors to follow.

      About Cheryl Bradshaw

      Books by Cheryl Bradshaw

      CHAPTER 1

      Giovanni Luciana pulled the black 1930 Ford Model A Coupe into the garage, gliding it to a gentle stop behind another of his other collectible cars, a 1969 Ferrari 365GTS. His auto collection was pricy and rare, and though the Model A had been purchased for a modest amount in comparison to most of the other vehicles, it was the only one with sentimental meaning, which set it apart from the rest.

      He exited the car, taking time to slide the door ever so gently to a close. Running a hand along the smooth, refinished exterior, he paused, taking a moment to appreciate what it meant to have the car back in his family’s possession.

      The history of the Model A was a scandalous one, having first been commandeered away from its owner, Robert Johnson, by Giovanni’s great uncle, John Dillinger, in 1934. Dillinger and his top two lieutenants, Hommer Van Meter and John Red Hamilton fled from federal agents after President Roosevelt and J. Edgar Hoover ordered the capture of the infamous Dillinger Gang. Dead or alive. Sliding into the rich, brown interior seat, the notorious Dillinger, sensationalized for robbing twenty-four banks and four police stations, had wasted no time shattering the glass, jutting his tommy-gun out the rectangular back window, and opening fire on the onslaught of Feds following close behind. Pelted with bullets, the Model A had soldiered on, and just as he had so many times before in the past. Dillinger managed to elude police. Only this time, his victory would be short lived. A few months later as Dillinger left the Biograph Theater, over twenty agents had positioned themselves outside. Dillinger’s luck had run out. There were no avenues for escape. Shot four times, the fatal bullet entered the back of his neck, exiting beneath his right eye and killing him instantly.

      At the tender age of thirty-one, Dillinger was a dead man.

      He was also a mafia legend.

      The Ford was eventually returned to its original owner. Upon assessing the barrage of bullet holes and blood-soaked interior, he’d decided it was of little value and shoved it away inside a garage. It was eventually sold and restored decades later by movie producers who used it on the set of Public Enemies. It was then put up for auction, where it found its way back into Giovanni’s possession.
