New York hitman/playboy Johnny Pacelli’s celebrity is becoming a problem. So when a million bucks stolen from an espresso machine results in an attempt on his father’s—the don’s—life, it delivers the perfect way to get Johnny out of town and off the society page radar: send him to Nashville, where the escaped assailants are holed up. After Johnny is ID’d in Music City for attempted murder, his travel partner, Phillie Canicattì, hatches a scheme to save them both, a scheme that can’t possibly work…the golden throated Johnny can go on the lam disguised as a country singer. Success was the last thing they expected. With its cast of quirky New York gangsters and off-beat Nashville players, #1 With a Bullet takes readers on a gonzo journey thick with laughs, outrageous situations and surreal interplay that opens the fourth wall of the book itself.
