The shadows run deep in the city of Lago. Behind the glimmering façades and halls of power, a parallel world exists, hidden from ordinary citizens. It is a realm of mafia families, backroom deals, and businesses masking illicit empires. A place where territory is claimed in blood, and weakness is exploited without mercy. Many deny this darkness undermining society, but it permeates every level of their lives, whether they choose to see it or not. Into this cynical web steps Vincenzo, exiled son of a legendary mafia boss. Lured by the promise of power and ready to shake up the existing hierarchies, Vincenzo intends to carve out his own fearsome legacy. But first he must navigate rivals both inside and outside the mafia commission overseeing Lago. And as Vincenzo claws his way to the top through cunning and ruthlessness, he will find out just how many moral compromises dominion requires. This is a story of ambition and loyalty, betrayal and revenge. Of an empire built rapidly through violence and intimidation, only to crumble from internal rot. It is a cautionary tale of how even noble intentions become distorted when driven solely by ends justifying means. Most of all, this chronicle reveals the constant struggles between light and darkness raging within every soul, community, and age.

Among the famous graffiti artists from New York City's 1970s subway era was an unassuming talent from the unassuming borough of Queens. The Italian-American rock and roller who wrote "DON 1 MAFIA" blasted onto the scene like a meteorite out of nowhere. His influence on this art form transcended the inner city and he became a legend and a household name. But his descent from the top of this name game, a result of the hedonistic lifestyle of New York City at the time, was just as swift, and for years DON1 has lived in obscurity. Fortunately, as a photographer studying at the prestigious school of Art and Design, DON1 documented his iconic work, along with that of his well known contemporaries, using his trusted 35mm camera. This penetrating work takes the reader inside the supernova that was DON1's creative life with nearly 200 never before seen graffiti photos of the most undocumented NYC train lines and an even rarer glimpse at work from his black book.
