Really great book with all the trimmings of New York City during it's bygone era. The writer really brings out the feel of the old classic neighborhoods and what they were like and how they changed mainly due to gentrification. the knowledge of organized crime and law enforcement is really brought forth in this story, which contained many twists and turns. The writer/Author obviously did immense amounts of research for this book which if marketed properly, can be a classic. I like that it ends with a sequel coming next with a a great idea that caused it. This story should be promoted as a movie series for those who love organized crime stories!
