The Capo's Mistress -- A novel of Organized Crime, and Love

Richard Harris (not the actor) has a wonderful new book about to be released. 'The Capo's Mistress' is a delightful mystery/suspense/romance set in the deserts of the Las Vegas countryside, and the bright lights of the city. Quite a combination for any book, but this one pulls it off. There's a certain machismo in Mr. Harris' viewpoint that is refreshingly enlightening in the world of romance. Check out the excerpt from 'Mike's First Night':

But then she crawled up on top of me looking for more and there was none. I was like a fighter I used to watch at the Olympic in L.A., a young Irish kid who would bless himself when the bell rang for the first round and run from his corner throwing punches from all angles at his opponent. Sometimes he knocked the other kid out but if that didn’t happen there was nothing left for the second round. He had punched himself out. I was in a ten rounder, at least, and I was hanging on for my life. It was humiliating, or at least ironic, that what I had dreamed of all day was on top of me and my poor spent gladiator, moving up and down in sexual frenzy, and I couldn’t do anything about it. She didn’t seem to care, which was a blessing. She would rest awhile, and I would think she was finished, but then she would moan and start up again. I tried to count the number, got up to at least eight, and longed to get back into the game, but my side had retired from the field. I cursed the gladiator under my breath for fleeing the battle, the dirty little coward. She finally seemed to be satisfied but every now and then she would shudder and move up and down briefly on her cowardly opponent, rubbing in the complete and total victory she had achieved over him.

Sometimes her shudders would start her off again and I would increase the count by one, sometimes not. This was her way of cooling down, like walking a thoroughbred racehorse, until she fell asleep, still on top of me.
