Being a Crime Boss Isn't Easy. Just Ask Tom Hill. Having survived a prison stretch and a bloody mob war, Hill controls Randall, Texas - a run-down suburb of Dallas. Along with his crew - they run the town's illegal rackets. Though profits are good, Hill must remain ever vigilant from the unwanted media attention he attracts plus the efforts of the Organized Crime Task Force to take him down. Even more dangerous is tangling with rival bosses. Hill gets into big problems with "King" Otis Ledbetter - the most dangerous and powerful boss of all. The "King" has no qualms with resolving any disputes by murder. Throw in his bitter ex-wife Charlotte and teenage son Eric, who Hill desperately wants to steer away from following his path into crime, and you have a dark, yet sometimes humorous novel with a touch of political incorrectness about a man caught up in a world where one misstep can lead to fatal consequences.
