Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Everyone knows huge problems exist in Greenpoint. Everyone wants change in this Brooklyn, New York, neighborhood. Everyone wants justice-but they all want someone else to do the dirty work.When New York State Senator Nicky Collins returns to his boyhood home of Greenpoint to care for his dying mother, he realizes the extent of the crime problem in this once-idyllic place. Worse, he understands that the root of much of the organized crime is his brother, Jack, whose business interests include extortion, prostitution, drugs, and murder. Jack harbors pure hatred for Nicky, and his one goal in life is to orchestrate Nicky's collapse. Jack's other ambition includes wiping out competing crime families-a bloody and deadly endeavor.As the violence escalates, Nicky, and boyhood friend, District Attorney Simon Banks, join forces to take out the center of the crime ring. In the process, they discover a deeper, more sinister conspiracy at work.A story of a deteriorating neighborhood and two brothers on opposite sides of the law, Greenpoint tells a saga of family, greed, and murder.
