River of Sins is a well written thriller/drama about a boy who comes of age in a treatment institution after being manipulated into committing murder, and returns home with open eyes to finally see the real story of how things work at home. Christian comes from a mob family, one steeped in dark secrets, violence, and drama. Napolitano had me hooked within the first few pages, his descriptive narration quickly pulling me down into a world of dysfunctional families with complex characters whose motives are not always visible. He's given a darkly twisted version of a love story, and in my opinion created a real winner. I'll definitely have to check out some of his other writings.
