Codes of Betrayal: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
To avenge his child, a New York cop vows to tear his own family apart
On the twentieth floor of a half-finished skyscraper, two brothers-in-law stare each other down. One is Vincent Ventura, a made man who fancies himself a real estate mogul. The other is Danny O’Hara, an honest foreman who’s just seen Ventura’s thugs throw one of his employees to his death. O’Hara doesn’t think Ventura will harm his own kin. He’s wrong. Ventura barely hesitates before pushing his brother-in-law over the edge.
Thirty years later, Nick O’Hara—Danny’s son—is a cop, and Ventura is king of the New York mob. Though he avoids his uncle’s business, Nick makes the mistake of allowing his twelve-year-old son to pay his respects at the old man’s birthday party. A gun battle erupts in Little Italy, and young Peter is caught in the crossfire. As his life collapses around him, Nick risks everything for vengeance—taking on the Italian mob in the name of his son, and the father whom he never knew.

September 29, 1997
Irish-Italian detective Nick O'Hara looks like an ordinary New York City cop. His marriage is outwardly placid, his best friend is his partner and his only vice is a passion for gambling. But Nick's beloved grandfather, an aging but still powerful Mafia don, represents a hidden, troublesome past for the protagonist of this uneven effort from popular crime novelist Uhnak (The Ryer Avenue Story). At a 75th birthday celebration for his grandfather, Nick reluctantly agrees to let his son Peter attend the San Gennaro festival on the Lower East Side with Nick's no-good cousin Richie. Through Richie's carelessness, Peter is caught in the middle of a Chinatown shootout and killed. In the aftermath of his son's death, Nick's life unravels: his wife leaves him; crippling gambling debts lead him to steal a cache of drug money; and then he gets caught in a DEA bust. Offered the choice between a possible 20 years in prison or turning informer on his grandfather, Nick must choose between duty and family loyalty. Uhnak is skilled at sketching the diverse cultures of New York's boroughs, but Nick's dilemmas lack immediacy; the plot, which introduces dozens of characters and settings, is scattershot. Worse, the revelations Nick eventually uncovers about his outlaw kin let him off the hook too easily, sacrificing moral ambiguity for tidy resolution.
