Jack Falon had it good: successful business, home on the golf course, Cadillac in the driveway, two well-adjusted kids, and a bombshell of a wife. It unravels quickly when Chicago's first family of crime infiltrates his business looking to launder money through his successful chain of restaurants. When extortion fails to force him from his livelihood, his family is kidnapped, and Jack is forced to endure the consequences of murder, rape, and slavery. He discovers a dark and brutal side of his nature as he searches every corner of the city for his daughter, wife, and son. Along the way, he discovers his brother to be an arch-villain with an illicit organization of his own, a brother he must race to a startling and violent conclusion. Jim Arneberg revives the pulp fiction narratives and the noir atmosphere of the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Lurid and violent. Tough and hard-boiled. Mr. Arneberg offers a wonderful, fast-paced story. The characters ... are compelling. The clear conflict ... kept me turning the pages. The author is particularly skilled at making the reader care what happens. Mr. Arneberg is a master of narrative and dialogue. He has a flair for writing and does so with a natural grace born of the true artist.- Writer's Digest
