A friend of mine, who is a friend of the author, recommended this book to me, and I couldn’t get enough of this wonderful tongue-in-cheek story. It drips with all of the testosterone of the wise guys who bully the streets of Little Italy, and yet is balanced by the more subtle and disarming view of life of the Chinese racketeers who operate in the nearby combat zone of Chinatown. With an admixture of comedy, wit, irony, and hard-hitting whack jobs, an uneasy but lasting truce is ironed out between the old moustached-Pete’s of Sicily and the growing presence of the Asian crime lords. Joe Bruno puts the smell of the city into the writing, and the result is a delicious slice of New York pie. Well-worth the time spent laughing through the pages, and I am desperately seeking sequel. Va bene!
