The Vow of the Underworld

Salvatore Ferrant has been the family's undertaker since he was nineteen. He buries the men his uncle kills, and he has never asked a question — not once, not ever. Matteo Vitale is the heir of the Vitale family, presumed dead for six years after a bombing at his sister's wedding, and he is back in New York with a fake name and a job at the Ferrant funeral home. He wants to know which Ferrant ordered the hit. Tore knows who he is on the second week. He has known since before Matteo walked in, because he embalmed Matteo's father — and the father's last words on that table asked Tore to keep the son quiet. Tore has been keeping Matteo quiet by hiring him. Then Matteo finds the ledger — every body, every name, every killer, going back eleven years — and both families have something to lose. A dark MM mafia novel for readers who like their slow burns with a body count.
