Here's a little something about the book:

The Tragic Flaw is a tale of good and evil, power and money, style and grit. It’s about ruthless bad guys with panache and charisma told in with descriptive imagery. The beautiful and yet powerful language brings the characters and the unique Kansas City, Missouri setting to life. A key aspect of this piece regarding the antihero, the Italian and black Cicero Day, is how he shuns his mother’s deep religious beliefs, and is reluctant to consider that there may be forces in the universe that are greater than him. This page turner will keep readers amazed at Cicero’s simultaneous callousness and absolute charm. He is the antithesis of morality and the paragon of Machiavellian ways. This college-educated gangster knows no bounds, but unfortunately, Cicero is plagued with reoccurring nightmares. And due to one small (yet significant) flaw in his character, forces greater than him are prepared to teach him a lesson he will not soon forget. Jimmy, a ruthless Kansas City Mob boss and a good friend of Cicero’s father, keeps a close eye on Cicero and his business aspirations, for he has a personal stake in Cicero’s success. Cicero’s cohorts, the resolute and unflinchingly loyal Kameron Brown, and the seductive and deadly Olivia, make for intriguing characters in this modern tale of corruption and deceit. Definitely a hard-to-put-down novel.
