Max Stravagar is a expert on subjects of modern crime family and crimes against humanity.

Thoughts from the Author: This book will alter your views on the criminal minded individual, which one does not see in a typical crime novel/story and gain insight into the life of a wiseguy and gangsters community.

It is the first to focus on kids growing up in "The Life" vs kids born into a mafia family (Borneirmo's) and at the center black magic plays an important role, a taboo subject within that world... shakes up what is the norm in most crime novels.
