Trinities is a tale of evil. At its heart is the story of the apocalyptic final battle for control of the world's multibillion-dollar heroin trade - a battle between America's last generation of Sicilian mafiosi and the richest and most powerful Asian drug lords. Set against a vivid backdrop that reaches from the streets of Brooklyn and Chinatown to the bars and back rooms of Italy and the Orient, this is a stunning novel populated with characters who are in every way larger than life: opium warlords of the Shan highlands, aging Mafia dons who rarely emerge from their Staten Island compounds, soulless hit men and equally soulless yuppie financiers, and a lawman who's so far out of his league he doesn't even know it. And at its heart is Johnny Di Pietro, who after sixteen years of nickel-and-diming for the mob - running numbers and taking action; handling jukebox routes; dealing stolen guns, booze, and cars; working as purseman in two precincts; handling the Teamster's dirty paperwork; dispatching legbreakers - is annointed by his uncle Giuseppe to lead their kind, men of the old ways, back to their rightful place of power.
