Join Ray Franze, the esteemed author of The Heights, at a captivating book signing event. Ray Franze's compelling novel, The Heights, has recently been recognized as a finalist for the prestigious Chicago Reader's Best New Novel by a Chicagoan award. This remarkable work of literature has earned its place among the classics of its genre, firmly establishing itself in the same league as The Godfather. Drawing inspiration from true events and the tenacious racketeers who infiltrated Al Capone's inner circle, The Heights is a masterfully crafted tale that expands the reaches of organized crime across the American West. After three decades of relentless research, meticulously examining over 5,000 pages of FBI files, Ray Franze has brought this captivating story to life. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of The Heights and follow the journey of Sal Liparello, a seasoned crime boss from Chicago Heights. Against all odds, Sal has managed to survive long enough to savor a midday scotch on his California tomato farm. He played a pivotal role in dismantling Sicilian gangs, provided invaluable advice to Al Capone, and experienced encounters with iconic figures such as the Kennedys, Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. All the while, Sal cunningly evaded the clutches of Eliot Ness and J. Edgar Hoover. However, as he reflects upon his achievements, Sal also contemplates the consequences of his decisions, knowing that the repercussions are closing in on him. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to meet Ray Franze, the brilliant mind behind The Heights.
