Blood Betrayal

Bodies pile up—36 unsolved gangland murders and counting. FBI Supervisor Hans Bauer faces the unthinkable: reassigning the tough, independent Special Agent Frank Murray to the Organized Crime squad, despite kicking him out twice before.

Mafia Kingpin Nick Scarponi is back from prison, orchestrating a bloodbath in Philadelphia's criminal underworld. Three years earlier, Frank Murray put Scarponi behind bars, and now he's Scarponi's number one target.

This taut, tense, and visually gritty story leaps off the page, grabbing you by the throat. Crafted with cinematic pacing by acclaimed Director and Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Robert Child, Blood Betrayal is a classic big-city mafia crime story that cuts to the bone. Its authenticity stems from an historic FBI prosecution and investigation led by Charles "Bud" Warner, the real-life Frank Murray.

Commended by FBI Director William Sessions, Attorney General Janet Reno, and President Bill Clinton for his extraordinary work, Warner's case inspired this thrill ride of twists and turns, populated by vividly drawn characters like "Center City" Charlie, mob con man Nick “The Crow” Consiglioni, and Murray's gold-digging wife Marlene. Her affair with a doctor ends in a scene that must be read to be believed.

Former Philadelphia resident and director David Lynch chillingly described the city during the time of Blood Betrayal: "It was a very sick, twisted, violent, fear-ridden, decadent, decaying place. I felt like I was constantly in danger. But it was so fantastic at the same time. The people had stories etched in their faces."

Summon your courage and enter this world if you dare.
