Gangster Nation Captivating

It said that "truth is stranger than fiction" but Gangster Nation is fiction and continues the strange twist of a hit man hiding out as a Rabbi in a Las Vegas temple.  The book is  the sequel of Gangsterland, Tod Goldberg's story of Chicago gangster Sal Cupertine, who escapes both the law and disgruntled peers by undergoing plastic surgery and emerging as Rabbi David Cohen. 
In this edition, Cohen does both the Lord's work and his criminal business simultaneously.  Cohen has become wary of his role and begins to miss his wife and son, while worrying about their safety.
Meanwhile, an FBI agent, who has lost his partner is determined to find him and bring him to justice.
Writer Goldberg's talent really comes out in this multi-layered plot.  His frequent quotes from the Talmud, shows that either he did an amazing amount of research or is extremely creative. 
Gangster Nation is available on Amazon.
