Another spin on the Honored Society (Mafia). Although purely fictional, it was inspired by personal contacts with Mafia figures when assigned to the Organized Crime-Intelligence Division of the NYPD. My focus was on those few Mafia bosses who truly believed in the positive aspects of the time-honored criminal organization. For them, supplying illicit liquor and gambling was considered a service to the demands of the general public. For them, drugs and murder for hire was a path that would lead to intense police scrutiny and the eventual downfall of their criminal enterprise.
