The Name of the Game

By Greg Emmerth

The Byrne family has ruled Chicago's North Side for three generations-until violence erupts thousands of miles away and threatens to tear them apart.

When James Byrne, the mob boss's youngest son, is brutally attacked in San Diego, the fallout reaches Chicago fast. Tommy Byrne, newly installed as head of the family, wants to pull their empire out of the shadows and into legitimacy. His brother Enzo wants blood. Their mother and their father's longtime consigliere want a return to the old ways-no matter the cost.

As Tommy sends men west to uncover the truth, the family's internal power struggle turns lethal. A relentless detective and an ambitious reporter begin circling, unaware they're stepping into a war already underway-one where loyalty is currency and mercy is fatal.

The Name of the Game is a gritty crime thriller of ambition, betrayal, and inherited violence. As the body count rises and the Byrnes turn on one another, one truth becomes unavoidable:

In this family, survival means choosing sides-and someone always loses.
