Publisher's Summary:
When half-brothers Mick and Jerzy Sawyer are summoned to their father's prison deathbed, it isn't for a tearful goodbye. The spiteful old man tells the two estranged brothers about an old diamond heist with outstanding loot, and sets them on a path of cooperation and competition to recover the jewels.
Jerzy is the quintessential career criminal, fresh out of a short bit and looking to get back into the action right away. Mick is the failed cop and tainted hero struggling to get by with a clean life that doesn't seem to ever pay off.
Both men see this score as their ticket out of Chicago. Throw in the mysterious, blond Ania, and Blood on Blood is hardboiled Hardy Boys meets Cain and Abel. Jerzy and Mick battle each other for all of it - the diamonds, the girl, and survival - and nothing else matters...not even blood.
"Dark and nasty good." (Brad Parks, Shamus and Nero Award-Winning author of The Girl Next Door)
Members Reviews:
Excellent Hardboiled Crime Thriller
Mick and Jerzy Sawyer are half-brothers in Chicago, but there's no brotherly love between these two. Jerzy is a career criminal, Mick is a disgraced former cop who went to prison because he took the fall for other cops. The two of them basically hate each other . . . but they're forced to work together when their dying convict father puts them on the trail of a stolen necklace and earrings worth millions of dollars. More complications ensue when Jerzy finds himself in the middle of a gang war and both brothers (wouldn't you know it?) fall for the same beautiful blonde.
BLOOD ON BLOOD is the first novel collaboration by Frank Zafiro and Jim Wilsky. Zafiro has written other crime novels and short stories and Wilsky has authored quite a few short stories. They've joined forces here to produce an excellent hardboiled crime thriller. The narration switches back and forth between Mick and Jerzy, and also between past and present tense, and while those are both techniques I often don't care for, Zafiro and Wilsky make them work very well.
They've also written a sequel to this novel, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS, that's out already, and I plan to read it as well, but I recommend you start with BLOOD ON BLOOD. If you enjoy fast-paced, gritty crime fiction, I think you'll like it a lot.
Jerry
Ive read hundreds of books but never one with this kind of format. And the story line was super. If the reader is any kind of fan of Soprano's this will be a good read. Wiseguys abound. Enjoyed entire book but the ending was way better than the usual bad guy goes to jail and good guy wins. My advice is "Dont miss this one".
These brothers cannot share
A nasty con man is dying, he has two sons by different mothers who have not escaped his path. One is basically mean and hard nosed, almost totally without pity, gives little thought to others, and killing or maiming is not a problem for him. The other is an ex cop who took the fall for stuff both he and other cops did, he is resentful, but has a more active conscience but is no saint. There are the ethnic gangs, the cops, a gorgeous girl, and various unsavory "friends" and acquaintances of them and their dad. With his dying breath, pop hints of riches in some stolen royal earrings and a necklace that the boys might find.
