Book Description
The shadows run deep in the city of Lago. Behind the glimmering façades and halls of power, a parallel world exists, hidden from ordinary citizens. It is a realm of mafia families, backroom deals, and businesses masking illicit empires. A place where territory is claimed in blood, and weakness is exploited without mercy. Many deny this darkness undermining society, but it permeates every level of their lives, whether they choose to see it or not. Into this cynical web steps Vincenzo, exiled son of a legendary mafia boss. Lured by the promise of power and ready to shake up the existing hierarchies, Vincenzo intends to carve out his own fearsome legacy. But first he must navigate rivals both inside and outside the mafia commission overseeing Lago. And as Vincenzo claws his way to the top through cunning and ruthlessness, he will find out just how many moral compromises dominion requires. This is a story of ambition and loyalty, betrayal and revenge. Of an empire built rapidly through violence and intimidation, only to crumble from internal rot. It is a cautionary tale of how even noble intentions become distorted when driven solely by ends justifying means. Most of all, this chronicle reveals the constant struggles between light and darkness raging within every soul, community, and age.

Book Description
“Twilight in Hazard paints a more nuanced portrait of Appalachia than Vance did...[Maimon] eviscerates Vance's bestseller with stiletto precision.” —Associated Press From investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Alan Maimon comes the story of how a perfect storm of events has had a devastating impact on life in small town Appalachia, and on the soul of a shaken nation . . . When Alan Maimon got the assignment in 2000 to report on life in rural Eastern Kentucky, his editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal told him to cover the region “like a foreign correspondent would.” And indeed, when Maimon arrived in Hazard, Kentucky fresh off a reporting stint for the New York Times’s Berlin bureau, he felt every bit the outsider. He had landed in a place in the vice grip of ecological devastation and a corporate-made opioid epidemic—a place where vote-buying and drug-motivated political assassinations were the order of the day. While reporting on the intense religious allegiances, the bitter, bareknuckled political rivalries, and the faltering attempts to emerge from a century-long coal-based economy, Maimon learns that everything—and nothing—you have heard about the region is true. And far from being a foreign place, it is a region whose generations-long struggles are driven by quintessentially American forces. Resisting the easy cliches, Maimon’s Twilight in Hazard gives us a profound understanding of the region from his years of careful reporting. It is both a powerful chronicle of a young reporter’s immersion in a place, and of his return years later—this time as the husband of a Harlan County coal miner’s daughter—to find the area struggling with its identity and in the thrall of Trumpism as a political ideology. Twilight in Hazard refuses to mythologize Central Appalachia. It is a plea to move past the fixation on coal, and a reminder of the true costs to democracy when the media retreats from places of rural distress. It is an intimate portrait of a people staring down some of the most pernicious forces at work in America today while simultaneously being asked: How could you let this happen to yourselves? Twilight in Hazard instead tells the more riveting, noirish, and sometimes bitingly humorous story of how we all let this happen.
