Bellomo’s enigmatic mobster, Louie Morelli, takes on the Russian mob in her fourth book, “The Prince of Mafia Princes.”
Life is good for Louie Morelli. He’s rich, happily married, and having a fling with the blonde in his office. Louie’s even convinced himself that he’s just another South Florida entrepreneur. Then he discovers that his son, Tony, is being blackmailed by a couple of enterprising escorts and their nefarious associates. A meeting with a Russian mob boss is supposed to put an end to Tony’s troubles, but Louie’s inquiries set off a chain reaction, beginning with the brutal murder of a call girl. The next day Louie’s loyal friend, Victor DeAngelis, is gunned down on the Fort Lauderdale strip.
While Victor fights for his life, Louie tracks his would-be assassin, exposing himself and his family to a ruthless killer. After dodging bullets on his own driveway, Louie is determined to retaliate. But before he can act, the FBI steps in, And, suddenly, life is so not good for Louie.
“Louie Morelli had a fondness for all things Italian. Thus, when his daughter decorated his Boca Raton office, she acquired his inlaid walnut desk in a showroom on the Via Montenapoleone. Louie’s mahogany-leather executive chair and shorter-backed guest chairs had been imported from the same Milanese designer, and his buffed travertine floor, with its swirls of bronze and amber, was carved from an ancient quarry once favored by Michelangelo. Louie himself was Sicilian, and with his dark good looks and impeccable sense of style, he could pass for an Italian movie star. But his cadence was New Orleans working class, and sitting at his beautiful desk with the glare of the Florida sun diffused by the tinted, impact-resistant glass on the arched windows behind him, Louie looked immensely rich and unmistakably American.”

The Prince of Mafia Princes
Detroit author, Patricia Bellomo, releases her latest thriller, The Prince of Mafia Princes.
Bellomo’s enigmatic mobster, Louie Morelli, goes to war with the Russian mafia in the fourth book of her “Louie Morelli” series.
[dcs_p]Detroit, MI / April 9, 2015[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Detroit has a long and storied mob history, but local author, Patricia Bellomo, isn’t writing about the Detroit mafia. The daughter of Italian-Americans, Bellomo was raised in a quintessentially Italian neighborhood in Macomb County—a place where bloodlines and familial connections run deep.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
It’s all a little too familiar, which is why Bellomo’s infamous mobster, Louie Morelli, was born and raised in New Orleans, the son of a former crime boss that conspiracy theorists credit with the 35th president’s assassination.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Having spent a lot of time in the Big Easy, the author credits the city with inspiring her. New Orleans also figures prominently in her novels. A previous book, Louie Morelli’s Mistress, was set entirely in the city, providing a lush backdrop for the daring and suspenseful thriller.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Fans of Louie Morelli know that while the mobster maintains a residence on Lake Pontchartrain, he lives in Delray Beach, Florida—another one of Bellomo’s favorite spots. Three books in her series, including The Prince of Mafia Princes, are set in the Sunshine State.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
“South Florida, with its influx of travelers and transients, makes an ideal setting for some of the mischief that befalls Louie and company,” says Bellomo.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
In The Prince of Mafia Princes Bellomo’s savvy mobster aims to protect his son, Tony, who is being blackmailed by a couple of enterprising escorts and their nefarious Russian associates. A sit down with a Miami mob boss is supposed to put an end to Tony’s troubles, but Louie’s inquiries set off a chain reaction, beginning with the brutal murder of a call girl. When Louie’s faithful soldier, Victor DeAngelis, is gunned down on the Fort Lauderdale strip, he sets out to avenge the shooting, only to be waylaid by the FBI.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Like Bellomo’s previous books, The Prince of Mafia Princes is an action-packed thriller. Told entirely from Louie’s point of view, the novel exposes his vulnerable side while highlighting the complex relationship he has with his wife. Though Louie professes to love his wife, he can’t stay faithful to her, and the flings he indulges with gorgeous young women further complicate his marriage.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
“Louie’s a bit of a chauvinist, like an old fashioned Bond,” say Bellomo, adding that her female readers really like Louie. “He’s a dark hero, the ultimate bad boy. Louie is also charming and very, very rich, and this makes him irresistible to women.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
The Prince of Mafia Princes is Bellomo’s fourth book. The series is non-sequential, and you can delve into this latest thriller without having read any of Bellomo’s prior releases, namely Louie Morelli’s Mistress, Stella di Mare, and Louie Morelli’s Daughter.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
