The Badlands Series is the spellbinding account of the trials and tribulations of a larger-than-life underground criminal organization extending to New York, Philadelphia, and D.C, over the last two decades. In 1990, from these gang-ruled cities emerged a formidable crew. Their combined power extended from the wildest neighborhood blocks to the most conservative corridors of local government. Like a living urban legend, tales of their ruthless superiority captured the minds and hearts of even their sworn enemies. They created an underworld conglomerate whose ultimate decline is as dramatic and ominous as its rise.
In the first book of The Badlands Series, A Love To Die For, Victor, a reformed gangster, is released from prison after four-years with revenge on his mind and news that his cousin, Benito Flores, has been murdered because of a package containing a mysterious disk. Victor vows to avenge Benito’s murder and to take care of his niece, Isabella. Angelica, his one true love, wants nothing to do with him. His old friend Fieta, one of the heads of his gang The Crown, vows to provide Victor with information on the true killer, and in return Victor must collect the package containing the disk, which is in the hands of two dirty cops. When they offer it to the highest bidder, Victor finds himself caught in a dangerous wild goose chase that ensues between a union boss, Sean Flannery’s Irish crew of gangsters, and Jorge “Fieta” Santiago’s Crown organization. Soon Victor learns that everything has a price and he has to make a choice when this explosive situation puts Angelica’s life at risk. To save his one true love, Victor must make the right moves to stay in the game – this is chess not checkers
