A Rose From The Executioner
Sobre aquest llibre
Detective Philip Dorian of the 16th Chicago Precinct is called to investigate the serial killing and mutilation of retired, former pedophile priests in the Chicagoland area. It becomes later discovered that Monsignor Joseph Kilbane, chief of staff to the Cardinal, had previously approached his childhood friend, Anthony 'Little Tony' DiMatteo to lend him a "hit man' to commit the murders of these pedophile ex-priests for their insurance money. Although the plot sounds interesting, Little Tony isn't interested, and the Monsignor abandons the idea. During the reigns of prior Chicago bishops and cardinals over the last fifty years, many of these former pedophile priests were allegedly, forced to resign and sheltered away from criminal prosecution, with the caveat that they allow the Archdiocese of Chicago to be the beneficiary of their large life insurances policies.
These policies were taken out on these former priests 'as a form of penance for their lives of being sexual predators'. With the innumerate sexual child abuse lawsuits that have been currently filed and settled by the Archdiocese, they are now on the brink of bankruptcy. A serial killer is now out there, and Monsignor Kilbane has no idea who is perpetrating these gruesome homicides, essentially framing him and the Archdiocese for these "Pedophile Priest Murders".

Sobre l'autor
When the author was in high school, it was suggested by his English teachers that any career, other than writing, would be 'a total waste of time'. He always had a passion for writing but was discouraged to pursue it as a career. Born and raised in Detroit and being the first generation from Italian immigrants, he moved to Chicago at age 21 with only his college degree and $100 in his pocket. After working in public accounting for several years, he started his CPA accounting firm from his kitchen table and went on to become a very successful CPA and businessman. But becoming a fiction author was always his life-long passion. After a thirty-year marriage and a lengthy divorce, it was suggested that he take up writing again as a 'form of therapy'.
He has now devoted all his time in developing new and exciting story lines for his next fiction novels. His writing prose and style is often set within his hometown of Chicago, his native Detroit, and his many travel experiences to Italy and in Europe. He invests a considerable amount time and historical research in developing his story lines and various characters, which are very often modeled from many of his real-life experiences. Edward Izzi has written a countless number of short stories, poetry, and has completed several fiction thriller novels, including "Of Bread and Wine", "A Rose from The Executioner", "Demons of Divine Wrath" and "Quando Dormo”.
