Condition: Very Good

By 1962, Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, adn corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, defies his proper upbringing and his father's strict law-and-order orthodoxy. Graduating from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the riches, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw. But life on the dark side carries a heavy price. In a time when ruthless men of ambition armed with cash, illegal booze, and guns battle for control. no one neither family nor friend, enemy nor lover-can be trusted. For men like Joe, beyond money and power, even the threat of prison, one fate seems more likely than all others: an early death.
