The Killer’s Kid by Adelene EllenbergThe Killer’s Kid by Adelene Ellenberg

A mother, her son, and a mobster

Massachusetts mobster and bar owner Mickey Quinn has fathered his only child, David, conceived through intimidation over his employee Darlene Bundt.

After learning of her pregnancy, Darlene wrestles with the dilemma of termination versus living her faith. Despite the circumstances, she chooses to bear the child and bring him up on her own.

However, Quinn plans to control David's future and raise him to be tough, cunning, and "connected".
Quinn stalks Darlene and David, forcing them into hiding. Meanwhile, Quinn continues to pursue the confiscation of Jaston Farm by any means necessary in order to site a mobster-controlled casino.
Will Quinn again violate the law?

Small-town politics can be murder.

Massachusetts dairy farmer Robert Jaston is battling the town's board that voted to seize his land for a gambling casino project.

Vowing to fight "over my dead body," he recruits the one lawyer willing to take his case: a young woman also at odds with the town's authority.

Together they launch a series of legal and political battles against the town's scheming power-holders, infuriating their adversaries.

Tensions escalate, and a tragic outcome ensues,
where someone pays the ultimate price.
