Midwest Book Review
The son of poor Italian immigrants living in Brooklyn,
Bephino Menesiero ("Bepy" as he comes to be known)
grows up fast. At the age of fifteen he becomes a
hit-man. That same year, he is seduced and initiated
into the art of lovemaking by a voluptuous redhead
twice his age. Embracing values of respect and loyalty
as emphasized in his Sicilian heritage and upbringing,
Bephino's life is soon filled with bloody experiences
and sacrificed lives as he upholds his family's code of
honor. His quest for wealth and respect takes him from
Brooklyn's Bensonhurst to Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive,
from New Orleans to Mexico City, from Las Vegas to
Wall Street. Unhesitant about dispatching victims when
required by those to whom allegiance has been sworn,
murder becomes merely a dispassionate job
performed with ruthless efficiency. Along the way,
Bephino's development from youthful killer to a man
desperately seeking tranquility, is viewed against the
richly colored backdrop of the people and places of the
underworld. With crackling dialogue and hard-bitten
realistic prose, A Man Of Respect readers with an
authenticity of Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" or the
non-fiction chiller, "The Valachi Papers". Highly
recommended!
