Vincent Graziano has done it again. Having published his first work of fiction, Die Laughing, in 2009, and more recently The Family Jewels in 2018, the stand up comedian turned funeral parlor owner again borrows from memories of his youth in Little Italy and imagined scenarios only a funeral director could devise.

While Die Laughing and The Family Jewels were set in Little Italy and the Lower East side, in The Romeo Club: Restless Old Men Eating Out, Graziano brings the reader to the quiet hamlet of Inlet Cove in Westchester, New York.
