The Piranhas
The book is not what I expected from Harold Robbins, one of the world's best selling authors.
The book starts with a prologue, a funeral of a Mafia don, then goes back in time to an Amazon River drug deal. The book starts well then waivers throughout the middle and end parts. The story flips around between South American drug dealers, Hollywood film producers, hopped-up pop singers, mafia dons, mafia hitmen and sleezy big businessmen as the protaganist tries to help his uncle, a mafia don, retire in one piece. The plotlines never come together, and the sex scenes and sexual references are just plain vulgar. Rather a disappointing dud.
