STATEN ISLAND, NY: No. Its not some sick joke. Its the latest timely action thrilling novel: In Exchange Of Life, by Staten Island author and businessman John Paul Carinci.

Father Joe Gramel, a Catholic priest and pastor of a small South Carolina congregation, is devastated, learning that his only niece of sixteen died from a drug overdose in New York. Outraged, incensed and disillusioned with society, the Church, and his life, Fr. Joe, determined to right a wrong, goes on a mission to infiltrate the drug scene in New York, bringing to justice the drug kingpin responsible for supplying the drugs that killed his niece. But something goes terribly and deadly wrong.

Carinci, 48, is an insurance executive with 26 years in the business.

In Exchange Of Life is John Paul Carinci's third published suspense novel; he has several more forthcoming. When he's not writing, he runs an insurance agency in New York City (which he drew on in the setting for his first book, Better Off Dead-a story of the Mafia taking out life insurance on the victims of its hit men). Filmmaker, Charles Addessi, of the Wannabes, will be bringing Better Off Dead to the big screen.

"Joe, please! Youre not stupid! They figured us out. Theyre wiping out the chain that leads to them. They think Pinky ratted on them. Thats why they not only killed him, but sent a message to everyone by cutting off his freakin head!"
