Publisher's Synopsis

An honest and unromantic look at Brooklyn's underclass and wiseguy justice. this is an exciting and darkly humourous novel that takes a guided tour of the ethnic enclaves of South Brooklyn. Not the Brooklyn of Spike Lee or Matty Rich, but a counterpoint, where hangers-on, those left behind in the white flight to the suburbs, continue to 'do business' while defending their shrinking borders. Written by 'a Very Brooklyn' author, this will appeal to all fans of organised crime.
