Sally Boy

Set in the Bronx’s Little Italy, Sally Boy tells the story of

Salvatore Scalise and his bloody rise to power in the New York

underworld. As a youth, Sal was a member of the Golden Guineas, a

feared street gang made up of the sons of Italian immigrants. He

learns how to fight, to value a trusted friend, and to respect the

sacred code of the streets. Sal’s journey is passionate and

dangerous, leading him from the bedrooms of the most desirable women

to the perilous jungles of Vietnam.

Back in New York, Sal reaches out to a childhood friend who has

graduated to Mafia soldier. Impressed with Sal’s fighting

skills, the Mirragio crime family embraces him. However, when ordered

to murder his best friend, Sal has no choice but to commit the

unthinkable. Consumed with rage, Sal rebels, resulting in his

humiliating expulsion from the Mirragio’s ranks. In retaliation,

Sal forms his own crew and seeks revenge. Using his military training

and a savage capacity for killing, Sally Boy sets out to slaughter the

Mirragio family and seize control of the Bronx drug trade.

An epic tale of deceit, betrayal, and revenge, Sally Boy provides a

rare glimpse into the mind of a Mafia soldier who learns to trust no

one. Moreover, the stunning conclusion makes this novel a cautionary

tale that will inspire readers to question their own loyalties as well

as to marvel at the possibilities of redemption. Destined to be a

classic, Sally Boy is a well-crafted, roller coaster of emotions that

will leave readers desperately wanting to know what happens next.
