Paradise Hardcover Crime Thriller Book by Marc Savage Doubleday Suspense 2003
Misty Carmichael - a petty crook from Queens with a movie idol's looks - has faith in only two things: the myth of the Big Score and the power of the amulet he wears around his neck.
Misty follows his beliefs, puts the charm's strength to the test, and knocks over a loanshark from the infamous Scorcese crime family. But instead of easy money, Misty's payoff turns out to be a whirlwind of violence and ultimate heartbreak from which it is doubtful he will emerge alive.
Caught up in the vortex of events are the beautiful Molly Carmichael, Misty's spirited mother, and Izzy Stein, her one-time lover and a skiptracer hired by the powerful Scorceses to track Molly's son. As he closes in on Misty, the passion with Molly is rekindled and he must decide if his loyalty is to love or to the mob.
As the action catapults cross-country from New York, to Phoenix, and then to Hawaii, the Scorcese family tightens the screws upon its quarry, and within its own ranks. On the island paradise of Maui, events come to a climax when hidden agendas unravel with brutal consequence. Paradise is a one-way ticket to the danger zone, where nothing succeeds like betrayal - and everything is secondary to survival.
