“Tina, Mafia Soldier” is a gripping thriller centering a teen girl-turned-mafia legend

Organized crime has been a popular subject for tv, movies, and books for decades, and the mafia holds a particular fascination for American audiences. From Francis Ford Coppola's epic “The Godfather” trilogy, to HBO's "The Sopranos", the Italian and Italian American mafia has been portrayed with all the male bravado their creators could muster.
