Beginning college life is supposed to be an exciting time in a young person’s life. For Carly Washington doing a class project becomes a perilous task. She didn’t expect to witness a murder on the street near her Brooklyn home during her first week of school. When she discovers the killer is a mob boss it only makes the situation more difficult and dangerous.

Joseph Gallante has always followed the Mafia code in his life of organized crime. One of the biggest rules is never leave a witness behind. Knowing someone has seen him commit the crime makes Gallante determined to find the young woman. His outreach in the community and law enforcement provides him with the information he needs.

Will the young woman be responsible for the downfall of the powerful gangster, or will Gallante find a way to silence her? A Dangerous Assignment reaches a surprising conclusion between the student and crime boss.
