About In the Company of Killers:
Gossip Girl meets The Sopranos in this alluring fast-paced drama about a teenage mafia heiress who would do anything to avenge her family, even join forces with her handsome enemy.
Inside the tiny suburb of Scarsdale is New York’s worst-kept secret: The mob runs everything, with the Nicastro family at the center. Seventeen-year-old Tasha Nicastro lives a life of glitz and glamour, but she is oblivious to her family's dark truth.
She might look like your classic high school mean girl, but behind the designer clothes is a sharpshooter who knows how to bring anyone to their knees. The only person who has ever gotten under her skin is her former best friend, Leo Danesi, the youngest son of the Nicastro family’s rivals. After Leo returns to New York wiser and more handsome, Tasha thinks he’ll be the worst of her problems—until the life she thought she knew takes a violent, shocking turn. Her father and beloved older sister are murdered before her eyes. It's at that moment Tasha's ignorance catches up to her: Her family runs the most powerful Mafia branch in New York, and now she’s set to inherit it all.
Tasha vows vengeance on the mysterious new mob behind the hit, but she can’t do it alone. She needs someone who already knows the underground world to help track them down. And that person is none other than Leo, the heir to his own family’s dangerous empire.
But Tasha is a Nicastro. She’s been raised in the company of killers, and there’s absolutely nothing she won’t do to avenge her family. That is, if the enemy doesn’t put her in gold chains first.
