Book Overview

Dillon O'Grady, a poor seventeen year old Irish young man, finds his life turned upside down when two Italian mobsters approach him. They offer him the chance to change his life for the better if he does a job for their boss, Paulie Barcello; the man responsible for seventy percent of the crimes taking place in Manhattan in 1933. Dillon thinks about it, and agrees with some reluctance. Things seem to be going Dillon's way, but the only problem; another man, Tommy McAllister, has his eyes set on using Dillon for the same job. McAllister and Barcello are rivals going back many years, due to McAllister's desire to run Manhattan. When McAllister discovers Barcello has recruited Dillon, he becomes infuriated. He decides that if he can't have Dillon, no one can. Things turn from bad to worse when Dillon realizes that no matter what he does, either McAllister or Barcello will kill him if he messes up. There is no escape for him, and he knows it. His options are : Be killed doing the job, or be killed for not doing it. This description may be from another edition of this product.
