Having an enemy in high places is never a good idea. Even worse when your enemy is the president of an unfriendly foreign government and a former officer in that country's national intelligence service. An individual whose power and wealth is beyond comprehension. A person never to be denied.
The Carrullo Family has worked for the major families in America's Mafia for generations. Each generation providing a service the other families cannot be seen to carry out on their own. The latest generation includes an outsider selected and trained by the U.S. military for the most dangerous, clandestine missions on foreign soil. The old and the newest member in the Carrullo family are a marriage made in heaven. The old ways coupled with the talents of a special operator could not escape the notice of this country's national intelligence service.
Two countries demand the services of the Carrullos. Neither country is willing to be denied. At present, the U.S. has won the battle for control. Their enemy is unwilling to accept this state of affairs. If their most powerful enemy sees this as a zero-sum game. Zero is what he has for now. How long will he accept being on the losing end of the battle to control the Carrullos?
Many authors sharing the genre have characters whose fortune is determined by others. They literally have dodged the bullet that otherwise would have killed them. Weiner's characters make their own fortune-good or bad-and they live with the results.
Weiner's own experiences are blessed with no small number of noteworthy characters and events. He brings these slightly off-kilter individuals to life, complete with their own stories and dramas. Like the child prodigy in his first novel, It Is Las Vegas After All, who comes to the starting edge of adulthood and then loses the approval of his doting parents, the sponsorship of one of America's great institutions of higher education, and gains the enmity of his girlfriend's father-an international arms dealer-to become a home-grown terrorist operating on U.S. soil.
A survivor of rich, nuanced bureaucracies in the public and private sector, Weiner writes about characters whose career choices and decisions are morally questionable. A student of personal behavior in complex circumstances, Weiner brings these often cringe-worthy characters to life. Some are amoral, others immoral in a narrow slice of their lives, yet they otherwise look and act like people we all know from work or even childhood. Like one of the female leads in his novel, Serendipity Opportunity, an out-of-the-box thinker who flunks most of life's basic relationship tests, yet she is someone you never want pursuing you in the cause of justice. There's a former foreign security official who uses his protected status as a witness for federal prosecutors to provide cover for his own mayhem and murder in Weiner's third novel, Bad Money.
Many of Weiner's stories are born out of real life events: The mix-up in luggage claim at the airport in, Bad
