"A sexy, all-in-one-breath read, this is a story for those eager to strap on their boots and immerse themselves in a whirlwind adventure that will take them from espresso in New York with the Italian Mafia to walking the Old City of Jerusalem with the chief of Israel’s security service."
- The iRead Review

My Review

Anthony is given a proposition by his lover, Sophia. She happens to be mob boss, Gorgon Malakhov's mistress. She wants Anthony to kill Malakhov. It will be a risky operation. Although, one that Anthony is willing to undertake if it means he can be with Sophia. Anthony just might lose his life in the process. Many men have tried and failed to take down Malakhov.

Anthony's best friend, Detective Terry O'Donnell is currently in Malakhov's grasp. He wants O'Donnell to steal some priceless art. This is another thing that Anthony is...a good friend. He plans to help O'Donnell get away from Malakhov.

Yet, as if this was not enough; the Russian Mob versus the Italian Mafia. You know there will be blood and a high body count. To quote one of the characters, if they made a movie about the Russian Mob versus the Italian Mafia it would be called "The Streets Ran Red with Blood."

This is my first read written by Mr. Giordano. You can call me very impressed. I could not tear myself away from reading this book. There were many characters but it was easy to keep track of who they are were and their connections to one another. Plus, all of the back stabbing kept the story intriguing. So many people where double and triple crossing each other. It was interesting to see who came out on top. A true gangster type feel good read. I want more. Appointment with ISIL is infused with lots of action, complex and intriguing characters, that will keep you on the edge of your seat! A definite recommended read.
