About “Lucky”
The Santangelo novels are a series of books written by Jackie Collins that follow the Santangelo family, focusing on Gino Santangelo, an Italian-American former gangster, and his daughter Lucky. The stories span from the 1920s to the present day and are set in the world of organized crime. The series includes a rivalry between the Santangelos and the Bonnatti and Kassari families. There are nine novels in the Santangelo saga and one spin-off. Confessions of a Wild Child (2013) is a prequel that explores Lucky's teenage years, a period only briefly mentioned in the first novel, Chances (1981). (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
