This acclaimed New York bad-boy thriller is the tale of an illegal Irish immigrant who's tapped by a crime boss to lead a gang of thugs in Harlem and the Bronx. But when the young Irishman seduces his boss's girl, things quickly go south.
Good writer, lots of action and the story is interesting. Also enjoyed the Irish accent of the reader.

I thoroughly enjoyed this varied and violent story. I really liked that the narrator had an Irish accent. It added alot to the narrative.

What a great book. Now, it's not for everyone, that's for sure. But if you like a humorous and at times horrifying story, a sad-sack good bad-guy main character and a terrific reading in an Irish accent, you'll like this. The main character, Michael Forsythe, is a relunctant hood, not a bad man, exactly, but when pushed, not someone you'd want to cross. The story is shocking and shockingly funny. It's not for the faint of heart, but definitely made me want to listen to the sequel...
