We Are Holding the President Hostage (Electronic book text)

A Mafia Don Swings Into Action When Terrorists Capture His Daughter and Grandson. Salvatore Padronelli, a.k.a. the Padre, an aging Mafia Don is confronted with a dilemma when terrorists capture his beloved daughter and grandson on a trip to Egypt. Fed up with diplomatic caution that prolongs their captivity, the Padre and his loyal henchman cleverly insinuate themselves into the White House and hold the President and his wife hostage. Now the Padre calls the shots on getting the President to take steps to release his daughter and grandson. Laced with humor and illustrating how fierce love can motivate even the most ruthless gangsters, the classic confrontation between the Mafia and the President will glue the reader to the edge of his chair. Those familiar with The Sopranos on HBO will see suggestive similarities and overtones in a story that predates that series. Beneath the humor and clever plotting, readers will discover sharp parallels with present realities and discover how the intensity of paternal love can motivate the most reckless acts of courage and bravery.
