What people are saying about Hank Sinatra's The Bone-Handled Stiletto:

"This book is Italian heaven. It's like a combination of The Godfather movie and Casino, the movie. It was especially interesting to see a short and clear explanation of how the Mafia got started and flourished in the United States. The characters in the book are colorful and believable. The novel moved right along at a good pace. The Stiletto was prominent in the book and meant something to the story. I loved the book and recommended it." - Dixie Howell, 5-Star Amazon purchaser & Author

"I love how the author created fictional characters that were believable and made a storyline that had magnificent follow-through. I loved the old world feel of the characters in Italy. I found myself being there through the entire story." - 5-star Amazon purchaser

"I loved the way the characters' lives intertwined...loved the North Jersey and New York references...loved that the plot kept me wondering where the next twist would take me! The food references were right out of my Italian heritage and often sent me to the kitchen for a little snack while I read ( a little cheese, a chunk of bread, a little wine perhaps!). I got so involved in the characters' lives that I did not want to put this book down. Although this was a great story about the workings of the mafia, this book's core is a testament to the strong bonds and loyalties to our bloodline families. "Lunga vita alla famiglia." I highly recommend!" - Joan Smith, 5-star Amazon purchaser
