God seemed to be having a hard time killing him, and he’d be damned if he was going to make the job easy for mere mortals

Last night, Bree had been taken. Thoroughly, utterly taken. Gently or roughly, it didn’t matter. This man had reached into the darkest part of her mind, had brought out and laid bare the desires she...

Lies. All lies. Bree was shaking so hard she bit her tongue, but she didn’t even feel the blood in her mouth. Kill her husband and seduce the widow. She thought she’d never felt as...

that you’re going to not just scream my name, but forget yours.

Guilt makes people do the weirdest things. It must be awful to have a conscience.

The IRS! They’re like the Mafia, they can take anything they want!

Some wise guys came by my business establishment and tried to offer me neighborhood protection. They weren’t mafia, but they were wearing togas.

And I want you naked screaming my name, now that you know it,” Alessandro growled, leaning in so that his breath brushed across her face in a tantalizing caress.

I didn’t marry the mob; I was born into it.

We assassinate. We don’t accessorize. But I understand how it is possible to confuse the two.

By connecting Oswald to several parts of the JFK–Almeida coup plan, those working for Marcello, Trafficante, and Rosselli could ensure that when Oswald surfaced as the main suspect, the CIA and other agencies would have...

A man with six fingers on one hand who gets his finger cutoff by the mafia probably doesn’t feel pain, fear, or anger. No, that man probably feels normal.

You keep telling yourself that, love. We both know better.

Everything I do is for her, for Fallon.

The instant that any government obtains a monetary printing press, it becomes a deeply dishonest government, empowered to rob people by stealth. A government with the power to print money knows no limits.

A mafia don could snap his fingers and somebody would snap my neck. But when I snap my fingers, people start dancing. Or at least my clones would.

If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn’t have a job if he was any smarter.

We belong to each other, and you know it.

No state, no government exists. What does in fact exist is a man, or a few men, in power over many men.

Nicky turned and bolted. He’d only had about a thirty foot head start and a few were closing ground on him quickly. He cursed his hundred-dollar shoes and his vanity. The shoes looked great, but...

When the state itself is held to the same moral standards as everyone else, it dies. And that’s a wonderful thing.

Well. We’re well and truly screwed now.

You’re not like them. You’re my McSailor.”A soft touch made him smile, thinking of Bonnie, before he realized it was Innochka’s hand stroking his face. The touch of a mobster’s girlfriend. He leaped back, still...

Don’t you have a puppy to go kick?” Alessandro asked, his brother’s voice grating on his already stretched nerves.
