Myth of Reciprocity

Milwaukee, 2016: Nico Ferraro is fluent in two worlds — his father’s pawn shop and the Italian mob table where loyalty is currency. When he builds a dual empire spanning a north-side fentanyl network and a designer drug pipeline from Shanghai, the money is clean and the system is perfect. But every alliance has an expiration date he can’t see coming, and when a cartel enforcer, a jealous heir, and a patient federal agent converge at once, the cost arrives in names he’ll carry for the rest of his life. The Myth of Reciprocity is a razor-precise crime novel about the lie at the center of loyalty — and the one relationship honest enough to survive it.
