City In Ruins, Winslow - B+

                     For Danny Ryan, his past is never past. Not- withstanding his status as a very important player and casino/hotel owner in Las Vegas, there are those who remember that he was a mobster in Rhode Island not that long ago. An FBI agent wants payback for killing her crooked lover, a Christian on the Nevada Gaming Board sees him as the perfect target upon which to build her career, and some of the old mobsters are still capable of popping up. Things go sideways with a Detroit mobster and a rival to such an extent that Danny almost loses his son and his  girlfriend. It even requires Danny to get his hands dirty again to solve matters. In a magnificent epilogue, we learn that the boy Ian, who was an infant when Danny left R.I., is now the mid-thirties CEO of one of the largest hotel empires in the world and Danny has peacefully passed away. Sadly, the author, who has six books on this blog, is retiring and this is his final work.
