Table 21 
I loved this story. A great read. I've only given two 5-star ratings and this is one of them! Bravo!
Actually 3.5 stars. It was a 99 cent book and I was desperate for print. Having said this, Table 21 was surprisingly good. However, I found myself doing a lot of skip-reading. I kept telling myself, "This is a well written book with a good plot," but I still kept skimming along. I think the problem was that the author didn't spend enough time developing the characters, so the racing plot drove everything. It would make a wonderful movie.

As a member of the publisher's focus group, I had the privilege to read an advance draft of this book and I couldn't put it down for a minute. It made a long flight feel like a trip across town. The story line goes smooth, yet compelling, keeping you guessing what will happen untill the very last page. If you like an entertaining story with a variety of possible endings, this book will do it for you. And still you will be surprised at the end. I can't express enough what a great read "Table 21"

The end of 1999 is approaching and a Mafia family in New York is feeling the heat as the struggle for territorial power is bursting through the underworld. This book was a refreshing and exciting modern day Capone story which is titillating, action packed and intriguing. Cimino throws so many curve balls at readers you simply can't put the book down and not keep thinking about it until you pick it back up again.

Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Table 21
It’s New York City, December 1999. As one millennium ends and another begins, an erratic chain of events unfold that could change the face of the Italian Mafia forever. In the turmoil, a vacuum is created when one family falls, creating an unprecedented void of power and a subsequent struggle for control of the underworld. Roman Sabarese is the owner of Evangeline’s, the hottest restaurant in Tribeca. He’s also close with an A – list television star who adores him. After a tawdry cover story in a popular celebrity tabloid, a spotlight illuminates the fact that Roman is the son of an indicted Mob kingpin, and therefore, heir presumptive to his father’s vast criminal enterprise that commands the Tri-State area. Zoë Greene is young, attractive and enjoying rave reviews in her role on The Prosecutor, a prime time network television series. While on hiatus from her show for the New Year holiday, she visits the restaurant where she worked her way though college. After a quick dinner with her friend Roman, and among the frantic holiday crowd, she disappears. Captain Stan Fitzgerald is the decorated head of the NYPD’s First Precinct in Lower Manhattan. His hands are full with the upcoming New Year celebration, a personal battle with renal cancer and the rigors of police life. When an old friend appears in his office to ask for help in locating the missing starlet, he is more then reluctant. As the clock ticks and precious time runs out, the city is turned upside down in a desperate attempt to find that which is lost and answer questions that have been a mystery for over a generation. In the end, secrets will be revealed, alliances will be forged, and friendships will be betrayed. Table 21 will have you guessing to the last page, who will live to see the new millennium and who will not.Define Containing Books Table 21

After receiving this book in a Goodreads First Read giveaway, I was excited to dive into my first mob related novel. However, I really didn't get "into" the book until near the end. Not that it wasn't a good story, but I found myself wanting more. More detail and more action. I've seen a lot of reviews stating that the violence was a bit much, but in my opinion it wasn't near enough. The characters who were the victims did not have the detailed responses I would have expected to the violent actsI loved this story. A great read. I've only given two 5-star ratings and this is one of them! Bravo!
