The Glass Tower is the sweeping third entry into the multi-generational crime saga Our Thing. Chronicling the rise and fall of Joseph Vitali Jr.-a man born into power, burdened by legacy, and ultimately undone by ambition. Set between 1969 and 1984, the novel follows Joseph’s desperate attempts to modernize and expand the Vitali crime family empire, pushing it from the old streets of New York into the glittering chaos of Las Vegas.Haunted by the ghosts of his grandfather Salvatore and father Joseph Sr., Joseph Jr. aims to build something greater, culminating in the creation of the Glass Tower, a luxurious Vegas casino and symbol of his reign. But the price of progress is steep. Against the traditions of his predecessors, Joseph makes a secret deal that brings darkness to an empire that was always considered clean.The consequences are swift and brutal. New York operations begin to unravel, allies fall away, and rival families begin carving up what’s left. As Joseph sacrifices loyalty and family in the name of survival, his relationships fracture: with his consigliere Angela, his wife Margaret, his brother Sam, and most of all, his sons.By the time his actions catch up with him, Joseph finds himself abandoned by all but a few. His empire is seized. His name tarnished. In the final chapters, a grown Joseph III, his oldest son, quietly begins mapping the pieces of what remains, while Joseph Jr. confronts the full weight of his legacy.A meditation on power, family, betrayal, and legacy, The Glass Tower is a tragic character study about what it costs to build something that outlives you¿ and the silence that follows when the world moves on.
