Synopsis

Robert Isen doesn't know who tried to kill him or why. After a shutout in his dental office, he disappears into the mountains of Colorado while he searches for answers. Meanwhile, the Mob is searching for Isen. Add a rogue FBI agent, a back-stabbing lawyer, and Isen's beautiful Costa Rican dental assistant; mix it all together with a new breed of cyber-vigilante, and you have the recipe for a suspense thriller that will keep readers turning the page.

Popular books, television, and movies are filled with stories about Mafia life. The public can't get enough of this once-secret society. Fatal Practice (approximately 120,000 words in length) goes beyond the clichés and examines how the Mob might deal with information-age vigilantes. In our new century where "dot com" businesses are fast replacing companies that made up the old economy, this book shows what happens when technology gives the competition a leg up on the old-fashioned crime industry.

Fatal Practice explores the question of vigilantism. What are citizens to do when the justice system fails and criminals go free? What happens when like-minded people meet anonymously on the Internet to find justice after the law fails them? Can low-tech wise guys survive a war with high-tech web guys?
