Anatomy of a Shark - Paperback

Adopted as a baby into a New York City crime family, blond-haired, blue-eyed Vinnie Renaldi's introduction into life is as natural as watching his mother clean his father's gun while eating Cocoa Puffs for breakfast. But when a member of the gang is found to have abused his children, a split forms between father and son.

On his own, with his favorite cousin by his side, Vinnie doubles down on intel involving a takedown by NYC Police of the city's most infamous biker gang's clubhouse. With opportunity, means, and plenty of motive, the new two-member "gang" infiltrates the bikers' "house" and awaits the inevitable shootout and a possible huge payday.

But a crooked cop complicates Vinnie's life as he navigates the intricacies of a new, clueless girlfriend, a new apartment, and the harboring of abused and fearful teens-two of whom, due to karmic craziness, were also adopted as babies.

Higher stakes could not be found as Vinnie bets his life on being smarter than the gang, the cops, and his father, the would-be don. Oh, and, yeah, you're going to laugh. And tense up. And laugh some more.
