Now, at the age of 23, his sole ambition is to lock down the streets of Philly and reclaim the power and glory his estranged father once possessed. Unfortunately, the only thing standing in his way is the grandfather he never knew existed. As Sonny begins his bloody rise to prominence, the concept of family falls by the wayside and murder reigns supreme.

Bestselling crime writers Peter Edwards and Antonio Nicaso reveal the final years of Canada's top mafia boss, Vito Rizzuto, and his bloody war to avenge his family and control the North American drug trade. Until Vito Rizzuto went to prison in 2006 for his role in a decades-old Brooklyn triple murder, he ruled the Port of Montreal, the northern gateway to the major American drug markets. A master diplomat, he won the respect of rival mafia clans, bikers and street gangs, and criminal business thrived on his turf. His family prospered and his empire grew--until one of North America's true Teflon dons finally lost his veneer. As he watched helplessly from his Colorado prison, the murders of his son and father made international headlines; the killings of his lieutenants and friends filled the pages of Canadian news; and the influence of the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian Mafia, spread across Montreal faster than the blood of Rizzuto's crime family. In 2012, Vito Rizzuto emerged from prison, a 66-year-old man who could carefully rebuild his criminal empire or seek bloody revenge and damn the consequences. From the events leading to his imprisonment to his shocking death in December 2013, Business or Blood is the final chapter of Vito's story.

In a brash attempt to establish himself as his own boss, he forms an alliance with Sonny's arch nemesis--THE MEDELLIN CARTEL. With the Columbians backing him and a team of killers ready to annihilate anyone in his way, Rahmello will stop at nothing to reclaim the streets of Philly. Even if it means he has to go to war with his own family. The YBM, headed by THE REAPER, is on a full blown collision course with The Moreno Family. Unfortunately, Rahmello doesn't see it--he's too blinded by his own deceit. Will his thirst for power leave him vulnerable to the YBM's advance? Or will he reign supreme, totally independent of his family's bloodline?

A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.
