The John Seraph Mystery Series
Born into power but shaped by conscience, John Seraph was destined for a future he refused to embrace. The eldest son of Stefano Angelo, the formidable head of Buffalo’s Angelo crime family, John was raised in a world of wealth, influence, and the brutal realities of organized crime. His father groomed him to take over the empire—a legacy built on loyalty, silence, and control.
But John was different. He saw the weight of his father’s rule, the manipulated lives, the secrets buried in the shadows. He refused to be the next in line, walking away from the only life he had ever known. For years, he distanced himself, even changing his name from Giovanni Angelo to John Seraph, reinventing himself in an effort to escape his family’s grasp and atone for a mistake from his high school years.
That peace shattered when his past came calling. Threats mounted. Old enemies resurfaced. His life was put on the line more than once, but John refused to turn back. The truth mattered. Justice mattered. And no matter the cost, John Seraph was determined to uncover the secrets powerful men wanted buried.
His journey wasn’t just about solving a case—it was a reckoning with the past he abandoned and the man he was becoming. Every step forward was a battle against forces determined to silence him, but John had never been one to back down.
