Alex Turner
Meet the teenage mafia planner with a price on his head who is trying to do the right thing.
Our tale begins with our hero literally being stabbed in the back by his best friend. From there, his life spirals downhill. Alex Turner finds himself on the run from the South Philly Crew, which his father had been a member of, and a group of pissed-off Russians.
With a hit out on both his father and him, his father must go into hiding, leaving Alex to fend for himself. Alex is fourteen and alone, so he has no choice but to trust the FBI to keep him safe. Their solution is to move him to Conclave, Oklahoma, a small town in the middle of nowhere. That’s where the real trouble starts.

★★★★★ — Just wait for the other shoe to drop.
Fifteen-year-old Alex Turner is settling into his new life in Conclave, Oklahoma, and he has a new part-time summer job as a security consultant. Part of this job involves testing to see if their clients can be robbed, and he uses his old mafia skills to create plans to do that.
Someone has stolen those plans and is using them to rob his clients.
The police are suspicious that he might be involved in the heists. Could he take the fall? Who is responsible?
One name jumps to mind. Could it be that his dad has surfaced?
