Will detective Dan Reles arrest his own father . . . or will the mob find him first?
Lieutenant Dan Reles has a new house, a wife, and a son, and a great career as head of Austin Homicide, but itas funny how your past catches up with you. When Danas deadbeat father Ben Reles, a Mafia legbreaker whoas spent the last twenty years on the run, shows up on Danas doorstep with an escaped prostitute in tow, trouble is sure to follow.
That trouble is Sam Zelig, a sociopathic godfather with limitless resources and boundless rage. In several diabolical strokes, he now holds Austin hostage, forcing Dan to choose between the town heas sworn to protect, his new family, and his father. In the process he faces trial by fire, bullet, bridge embankment, and one very angry woodchipper. Sure to satisfy Simonas core devotees as well as fans of Dennis Lehane and James Ellroy, "Last Jew Standing" is fastpaced and suspenseful from start to finish.
