A gripping, fascinating story that leaves the reader to wonder if Kenny Watts, his family, and associates were real characters, or are they fictional? It is for the reader to decide.

The author claims to have attended school with Kenny, a man who rose from a background littered by obstacles to a person who came to silently rule the world.

A Shoeshine Boy who took his opportunities, who lived amongst gangsters, outwitted them and used the decadence of the politicians to keep a vow.

What would we do if the shoe was on the other foot?

Would we be like his brother Charlie or his sister, Victoria?

Would we have supported him, loved him, cherished him and obeyed him?

Among a mountain of money, would the occasional murder be acceptable?
