Carlos Ramirez is an Ivy League educated lawyer and the son of an infamous drug lord. He spent most of his life sheltered from the seedier side of his father's business dealings, devoting his time to running his family's legal business ventures. All that changes, however, when his father is murdered by his partner, the head of the northeast Irish mob. Consumed by hatred, he and his sister Lena exact their revenge.
Seemingly oblivious to the collateral damage he is causing, Carlos's actions result in the death of a number of innocent people. The deepest of regret follows. Given the perspective of time, he comes to grieve his actions, leading him to the brink of suicide.
Carlos's sister, Lena, is a very different person. While Carlos avoids his father's legacy, Lena embraces it, maturing to become a major crime boss. As the story unfolds, Carlos devises a desperate plan to soothe his stricken conscience. What Carlos does not realize, though, is that Lena and her professional killer are watching over him, protecting him from danger.
At various points during the story, you might find yourself cheering for the killer, empathizing with the drug lord, or lamenting the weaknesses and flaws of the one character that is risking his life and sacrificing everything to do the right thing. Carlos, Lena and her hired assassin are complex characters caught up in a complex story, not unlike real life. And, as in reality, at any given instant in time, it is difficult to tell the good people from the bad.

Carlos Ramirez is an Ivy League educated lawyer and son to a criminal mob boss whose empire spans from his base in Mexico through to New York City.After a family betrayal drives him to blind vengeance, he is plagued by bloody nightmares of innocent lives sacrificed as means to the necessary end implemented by his command. Regret leads to a stubborn decision to legitimize his life.
Each shady player has their own selfish agenda that Carlos intuitively manages to keep one step ahead of while his plan for redemption sets events into motion that could cost him his life at every turn.
Meanwhile, the true mastermind and anti-heroine is running the show behind the scenes and keeping Carlos safe from his enemies as well as himself.
Penance reads as an exposé on modern day crime with a classic American Old School Gangster novel feel. I had to remind myself several times that it is fictional.
The author eloquently and carefully describes the complicated logistical and technical aspects of the story in a way that I could understand. I stayed engaged and tuned in until the last page.
It's a great book; hopefully there are plans for a sequel.

Penance James M Clifton PhD Books Reviews
Kept me engrossed from beginning to end...hope there is a sequel. Descriptive and interesting story, would recommend highly to my friends.
I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from a first time author, and especially an author who is an Engineer for his "day" job ). However, I couldn't sleep this morning and started reading it around 0400 (aka "0 dark 30"). Next thing I knew it was 0700 and I am late for work. Looking forward to finishing the read this weekend. Highly recommend it.
Fast-paced action with soulful and complex characters. Reads fast, and gritty, intricate details provide realism. Clifton avoids sensationalism without sacrificing a truly interesting plot. He leaves himself plenty of room for the next set of complications to develop in the gray areas where the characters live, and I look forward to hearing more from him.
The book has a lot of twists and turns you never expect. It made me wonder if the mobs were really so interconnected.
Fast-paced action book.If it weren't for life responsibilities I could have read it straight through in one day.Lena is my kind of woman!She is strong, intelligent and tough as nails, willing to go to the end of the earth to protect her family and those she loves.It will be interesting to see how much further she will go to protect her own once she has a child of her own.Excellent read!Hurry James Clifton we want more!

Fast-paced, quick-read action book with a strong, intelligent heroine and a complex hero with enduring family ties and unique sense of justice.
