171. Mafia Murder Mystery: Johnny Boy D'Amato

 The Mafia, the Mob, the family. It has many names but there is only one thing this organization is concerned about: money.  This long-standing group has members operating from the streets hustling all the way up to corrupt government officials. In the neighborhoods they run, they are feared by some and adored by others. This family follows a set of rules demanding loyalty to each other above all else, including, well, your own family. To break these laws not only goes against what they stand for but it very well may cost a life or two. Afterall, someone must pay.
