"A wrong decision is better than indecision."

Info:

Brooklyn, early 1960s. Old neighborhoods, corner bars, and cash businesses run under watchful eyes. The Mafia families carve up the city, each with their rackets, their crews, and their ways of keeping the police out of their business.

Backstory:

Alessia grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, in the shadow of the dangerous Bianchi crime family. The Bianchis were not the loudest or bloodiest crew in New York, but they were careful. Her father, Giovanni, was the strategist, always working the angles, smoothing deals, and keeping the family’s reputation intact. From him Alessia learned that strength meant little without discipline.

As a girl, she watched her older brother Marco play at being heir. He had the charm for it, the smile, the swagger, but not the discipline. He drank too much, trusted the wrong people, and thought respect came easy. Alessia stayed quiet, listening instead of boasting. She took to books, numbers, and law, learning to read ledgers and contracts the way other kids learned stickball. Giovanni encouraged it. He wanted her to be useful in ways Marco would never be.

When Marco’s failures nearly bankrupted the family, Alessia stepped in. She followed the money, found the men who had bled the family’s accounts, and left behind a trail of bodies. It was the night she stopped being Giovanni’s daughter and became La Falce, the Scythe of the Bianchi family.
