Book #9 of a Noir Horror Thriller Series. Focused on a new character, Hector Xanthos Othonos, the son of Demetrius Othonos. Having watched his father build the inner workings of the Petronomous Import/Export smuggling organization, he resents him handing it over to Yiorgos. He vows retribution even as he begins dating his sister Katie, against her parents' wishes. After finding out that Yiorgos' father is really Panagiotis (Gio) Ariti, he assembles a crew with the intent to drive both Yiorgos and Gio from the organization and claim his rightful place at the top. Along the way he gets close to Norma, whose Hollywood career is all but destroyed. Demetrius becomes furious and the pair are pitted against one another just as a big painting comes on the market that every major theft organization is determined to steal. Has this writer found Alfred Hitchcock's essence along with that of the phenomenal writers he collaborated with, to spin a truly remarkable series of suspense, intrigue, horror, and noir thrill?
