Synopsis
Having just turned
sixteen, Sara Jane Rispoli’s birthday is anything but sweet.
Returning from her
first high school dance, Sara Jane walks into a ransacked home and finds her
family missing, the dog maimed and a psychopath in a ski mask who won’t rest
until she’s dead. With nothing to go on but a clue hidden in a bust of Frank
Sinatra, Sara Jane jumps into her dad’s 1965 Lincoln Continental and drives
into the night.
The clues lead her
to an ancient, worn notebook that contains a guide to a Chicago hiding in plain
sight— safe houses, secret doors, mysterious phone numbers are all suddenly at
Sara Jane’s disposal. But it also contains darker, more troubling secrets
concerning the Rispoli family, including the revelation that a rare and powerful
hereditary trait passed down from the time of Alexander the Great enabled
certain male members of the Rispoli clan to become major figures in the Outfit,
Chicago’s storied crime syndicate.
Sara Jane realizes
the secret-filled notebook is the reason why her family was taken, and why
she’s being pursued by three different factions: her turncoat uncle, Police
Detective Dotty Smelt, and the huge, shambling freak in the ski mask. Learning
of the gift awakens a realization in Sara Jane that she, too, possesses the
powerful phenomenon.
With the help of a
weight-challenged sidekick, an angry Italian greyhound, and a legion of
guardian angel sewer rats, Sara Jane is chased, attacked, and fights back with
cold fury, staying one step ahead of her pursuers and circumnavigating the
male-centric Outfit while also keeping a growing romance.
