The New Regime — Tony Steele

Dmitri Burke is about to put plans in motion so he and the members of the Commission can retire comfortably as legitimate businessmen. But someone behind the scenes has been pulling strings, a puppet master of sorts, and when one of Dmitri's family members is cut from ear to ear, a war ignites. No one is safe-Maria's sister is ambushed and killed, Joseph's wife is shot in the head, and hitmen try to gun down Dante in the streets. Dmitri and other crime families begin pointing fingers. When hired gunmen try to stifle Dmitri and his pregnant wife, Isis, in their sprawling mansion and Nzinga is kidnapped, Dmitri orchestrates a plan that will wipe the Senate, Dante, Joseph, and Maria out in one swift move. At least that's what he thinks. He just might miss out on the birth of his twins-if he survives the night.
