"Son of Scarface is a fascinating story of soul searching, skeletons and epiphanies. Next time he wants to dig around looking for treasure, Geraldo Rivera should start here."
"Chris Knight Capone's riveting story takes us along on his painful and soul baring journey as he uncovers and reveals the dark skeletons that have been deliberately buried in his notorious antecedent's cupboard."
"Son of Scarface is an alluring and heart stomping read, like that of a pulp fiction novel in a dime store. Even though we champion Christopher on his journey through the dark canals of his family secrets, a part of us hopes he does not find what he is looking
for so he can walk away from a river blood spilt by a man
named Scarface."
"Chris Knight Capone is not only a born sleuth he is a born storyteller, and in Son of Scarface he has a brave and terrific tale to tell. A tale that is full of twists and turns. A tale full of mystery and intrigue just a plain old head scratcher."
"Many tantalizing clues regarding Mr. Capone's mysterious father paint a picture of an assumed identity. Mr. Capone's tediously researched book lays out an unbelievable story of intrigue and subterfuge."
"The search for self is unending. But when the search is impeded by questions of truth and the veracity of assumed lineage, the seeker is thrown into an almost unimaginable quandary. Son of Scarface is an extraordinarily well-written account of just such a personal journey. Its venture into the life of one of America's most notorious gangland figures is particularly scintillating."
"Knight tells his life story with honesty, showing how a search for one's past is a search for one's self."
"At once a search for legacy and self-confirmation, Chris Knight Capone's true story of family, loss and (of course) the Mafia is an emotional quest of sincerity, morality and quiet intrigue."
"The brilliant Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, maintained that personal identity is derived of critical determining factors, among which is the vital archetype of family...the relationships and genetic connections that run deeper than our conscious reasoning. Such is the focus of Christopher Knight Capone's compelling new book, Son of Scarface. Denied definitive proof of his own paternal ancestry, yet defined, in large part, by powerful, lifelong innuendos that the infamous Al Capone was his grandfather, Capone navigates the inevitably complex roads that run among the fact, fiction, fantasy and ambiguity that have haunted him all his life. Son of Scarface is destined to make every reader reflect on the inevitable influences of ancestry on our sense of self." |
