Second book for Mafiosi (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mob

'mafiosi' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'second book' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 'mo' (both are short periods of time).
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'mo'+'b'='MOB'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for mob that I've seen before include "Rabble" , "Unruly crowd" , "Throng" , "Rowdy crowd" , "Mafiosi" .)
