In New York, the feuding Calada and Fresco families are about to be joined, with the wedding of Don Fresco’s son Al to Don Calada’s daughter Maria. Years of bloodshed and hostility between the two families will come to an end with the union of the two Mafia families. A new era of peace is about to begin… but only if everyone wants it. Set amidst a familiar and easily constructed atmosphere, Paul Falcone’s Murdernight combines humour and a powerful storyline.
