“A masterpiece. . . . Honey belongs in the halls of other legendary, unforgettable characters.”—Javier Zamora, New York Times bestselling author of Solito
 
She knows where all the bodies are buried.
 
Honey Fasinga, the glamorous daughter of a notorious New Jersey mobster, is ready to reckon with her violent past.
 
As a rebellious teenager, Honey managed to escape her father’s circle of influence and reinvent herself in a world of art and beauty, working for a high-end auction house in Los Angeles. Now in her twilight years, she decides to return home and unexpectedly falls in love. But in her family, nothing has changed. When her grandnephew Michael bursts into her life in what appears to be a drug-fueled frenzy and her Lexus gets jacked, it’s hard to keep minding her own business. As old cruelties begin to resurface, Honey is no longer sure what she really wants—to forgive or to avenge.
 
This electrifying novel from PEN USA Award–winning author Victor Lodato is a masterful and deeply moving portrait of love in all its forms, of moral ambiguity, and of inspiring transformation—a story of female rage that asks the question: What are the limits of compassion in a world gone mad?
