Brooklyn Mafia Mystery Has Unlikely Protagonist-An Insurance Agent!

STATEN ISLAND, NY: What does insurance sales have to do with the Mob? Plenty-when an insurance salesman's customers start mysteriously dying, and the Mafia collects on the policies.

Brooklyn restaurant owner Tony Vongemi has been drumming up business for insurance agent Frank Granstino-but an awful lot of these referrals are dropping dead under mysterious circumstances. As he learns of Vongemi's connections to the Mob, Granstino has to get to the bottom of the mystery before He ends up at the bottom of the harbor, in the new novel, Better Off Dead by Staten Island author and businessman John Paul Carinci.

Carinci, 47, is an insurance industry veteran with 26 years in the business. He has owned his own insurance agency since 1986. The Italian Tribune News recently awarded him the 2002 Italian American Award as one of 50 Most Respected Italian-American Businessmen. He has just published a new novel: "A Second Chance" through iuniverse.com Carinci is available for interviews and book signings.

Carinci's screenplay for Better Off Dead will be directed later this year by a well respected director. Charles Addessi, award-winning director of Wannabes will be the Producer.
