Unlucky Double Part Two: The Adventures of Lucky Luciano's Double

By Darryl R. Breland

Everyone has a double, but the life of a local bootlegger in prohibition era New Orleans becomes an adventure that spans the globe once Al Capone discovers that he looks just like the infamous Mafioso Lucky Luciano. Johnny Cado is the UnLucky Double who becomes the target of assassination attempts on Luciano's life, until he finds an opportunity to flee with his wife, and the mob's money. The opportunity came while on an assignment with Bugsy Siegel to negotiate a deal with Mussolini to trade stolen arms for the use of Italian ports for smuggling drugs. Life is temporary much better for Johnny and his wife, Angila, while they were living in Paris under assumed names, but things changed for the worse when the German Nazis invade and occupy France. The drama continues when Cado and his wife are arrested for assisting the French Underground smuggle stranded British airmen out of occupied France. Spared the death penalty, the Cados are forced to participate in gruesome medical research programs in Dachau, Germany. Although Johnny Cado and his wife, Angila, are fictional characters, their story is intertwined with real historical characters and events. Since truth is stranger than fiction, the cruel Nazi atrocities and gruesome experiments described in this book are historically accurate. If you enjoy historical fiction, organized crime stories, World War II stories, drama and romance, I believe that you will enjoy this book. -Darryl Breland
