This novel is a stirring tale of a Jewish family brought together at the dawn

of the women’s garment business and torn apart by the birth of organized

crime set in NYC in the 1930’s. Real-life mobsters including Louis Lepke and

Dutch Schultz, and Special Prosecutor, Thomas Dewey, are woven into this

historical thriller which pits brother against brother in an attempt to bring

the situation under control. A heart stopper not to be missed!
