Ray DeLuca is a former Navy SEAL and the oldest recruit in his SFPD academy class. He's also the loving son of a Sicilian mobster, a capo in La Cosa Nostra.
When organized crime wreaks havoc in the Central police district of San Francisco, Ray finds himself in the middle of a brutal turf war between the Sicilian mob and the Ghost Boys, a local Chinese gang, as they fight for control of North Beach and Chinatown. Following the accidental death of a Ghost Boy, Ray's targeted by gang members and by enemies within the department.
Within months of starting a new career, he's cast as a troublemaker, terminated, and suffers agonizing losses. There's no time for self-pity. For Ray, he's got to make things right, and nothing is off the table. Ray's journey takes him from the streets of San Francisco to Los Angeles, New York, Baja, Dubai, the Amalfi Coast, and eventually to his birthplace in Sicily.
