Description: While Don Vittorio Tucci lies on his deathbed, his family and associates secretly jockey for position to take over mob control of Detroit. His sinister and sexy daughter-in-law, his conniving consigliere, and his hotheaded first lieutenant slowly engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Meanwhile, his grandson, Bobby Tucci, has eschewed his birthright, preferring instead his civilian life as a college student and rock musician. But with a $40 million carrot dangling in front of him and his diabolical mother determined to become the first woman to lead a major crime family, he's tempted to leap into the fray. But there's a little complication. To prove himself, he's going to have to "make his bones." His assignment? Kill Jimmy Hoffa. He's going to have to get in line, though, because every hood and mafioso in Detroit's underworld is trying to beat him to it.

A hilarious romp of a thriller that unravels one of the greatest unsolved crimes in history, Whacking Jimmy is a classic caper that will appeal to readers of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and James W. Hall.
