I just finished Gunner Lindbloom’s To Be A King, vol I. OMG! Every page just oozed authenticity and realism. I like when
an author writes what he knows, and it is obvious that Lindbloom knows this
genre very intimately. The story chronicles the rise and fall of a Detroit
mafioso and the extended family around him. T also showed the real side of the
characters, hw they justified their chosen business and how they led very
normal lives. I never thought about the fact that police arrests of some
made-men creates opportunities for expansion for his associates and for his
rivals. It is such a fluid, fragile, world. I rather liked King the main
character. He wasn’t all bad and just trying to do the best he could in the
world he was born into. There is so much story yet to tell. I have already
bought my copy of To Be A King, vol. II. If this was a tv mini-series, I would
binge-watch it. Excellent read and five stars for Gunner Lindbloom and for ToBe A King (both volumes). JAB, author of the conspiracy thriller Not On MyWatch.
