“The book thrums with creative verve, mordant humor and amusing detours into subjects like art, avant-garde fashion and mixology . . . . What you would get if you put the Corleones, the Addamses, the Targaryens and the Borgias together.”
—The New York Times Book Review
Almost ten years in the making, The Mortons, is the tale of an ancient crime family, who raise their children to be loyal to their kin, but with no empathy.
