The first book in a new saga by Allan Shiflet, "The Patriotic Don" is a mafia drama of international proportions. Shiflet twists the characteristic conflict between honor and prosperity, introducing the aftermath of 9/11 into a troubled criminal legacy passed on from father to son.
Shiflet is clearly unsatisfied with justifications used by current mafia fiction writers to address the internal struggle of crime lords. Religion plays a central role in the moral decisions of the main character, as does a sense of patriotic obligation. Shiflet's inclusion of Osama bin Laden and the poppy fields of Afghanistan add complexity and dimension to what was the tired world of mafia drug trafficking.
The world of "The Patriotic Don" extends far beyond New York City. With the death of a twentieth century mindset that struggled with its morality, the stage is set for a much more ruthless generation of drug lords that abandon morality altogether. Readers will be on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the sequel to this epic novel.
An on-and-off writer for over 30 years, Allan Shiflet has realized his dream with "The Patriotic Don," the first in a two-part mafia drama. Shiflet attended the University of Texas where he majored in business management and also played professional baseball. He has worked in a corporate setting since the 1970's, owning several businesses and traveling extensively. He and his wife, proud parents of five, currently reside in Texas.
