The book mystery was good kept you guessing till the end.

Joseph Russo Mystery
How did Joseph Russo come back from the dead?
If you have been reading the books in order, a few books prior Joseph Russo went to warn Andy and was shot and killed. Patrone went to prison.
In this book Russo has risen from the dead to take over. It was really irking me and I could not read any further till I figured it out. I found a review that solved the mystery.
The author responded to what happened to Joseph Russo: "yes, Joseph Russo passed on violently five or six books ago. This leaves two possibilities: 1. The author is an idiot and completely forgot about it, though he has since been reminded by MANY discerning readers. or 2.'Deck the Hounds' is actually a medical thriller. You can probably figure out which answer is correct." David
