David Giordano-Steece’s Paradox
Read BOOK ONE in the exciting Paradox trilogy!
True-life incidents make for exciting action in David Giordano-Steece’s blistering story based on his own extraordinary experiences with the criminal mind, sexual exploitation, and corrupt politics. Paradox is filled with colorful, larger-than-life characters and interspersed with real-life documents from Giordano-Steece’s criminal rap sheet, ownership of gambling casinos, and his late conversion to law enforcement. Like the two faces of the Roman God Janus, David Giordano-Steece’s Paradox portrays Blackie—Giordano-Steece’s street name—as a connected gangster; a sociopath…nefarious, vindictive and egomaniacal. Then, conversely, it reveals him to be a true crime detective and a warm, humorous family guy; a doting father who adores his “angel” daughters. Read an Excerpt!
David Giordano-Steece’s Question of Honor
Read BOOK TWO in David Steece’s Paradox trilogy!
Blackie could hear a ticking—feel wires connected to his body—he could still hear the explosions—like a dream. David “Blackie” Giordano-Steece, street-tough New Orleans gangster, called a vindictive sociopath, had survived another attempt on his life. Blackie’s crew was nefarious for high jacking, shake-downs, trading women overseas, ripping off guns from armories or hired-out muscle. His arrival with his Mafia crew always carried a threat of violence. Friends loved him, enemies feared him. To most he was an enigma, best left alone. This latest attempt on his life would cause a lot of pain—for someone. Blackie and his crew would find the perpetrator—they had snitches everywhere. Blackie reacted to the attempts on his life with a furious vendetta. His presence always instilled a state of intense fear, with dolore. Read an excerpt from Question of Honor here.
