Books > The Tragic Flaw

Cicero Day controls his gangland territory with terror, brutality, and shrewd business sense. Like his mobster father, he instills fear throughout the Kansas City underworld, wielding all manner of weaponry -- guns, knives, poison, trained beasts, and even HI V. Yet he fears no one -- not even God.

Though nightmares haunt his sleep and his mother prays constantly for his soul, Cicero believes there is no place for myths in the life of a man ascending to power. He is dreaded by some and revered by others. But as he barrels down a path of violence, an unseen kink in his seemingly impenetrable armor forces him to choose -- ambition or redemption?
