Gangland
ByPublisher Description
In this "masterly" thriller from the acclaimed author of The Town, the right‑hand man of one of the most infamous mob bosses in American history goes on a dangerous mission (New York Times Book Review).
In the late 1970s, The Outfit, led by Tony Accardo, has the entire city of Chicago in its grip. When the bracelet he bought his wife is stolen in a jewelry heist, Tony has his loyal soldier Nicky Passero track it down—by whatever means necessary. What Accardo doesn't know: Nicky has a secret which has made his life impossible and has put him in the pocket of the FBI.
Based on the true story of Tony Accardo, the longest‑reigning mob capo in history, Gangland is a Shakespearean drama of integrity, lost honor, and revenge. Gritty and action‑packed, it is Chuck Hogan's most thrilling novel yet.

“From the writer of The Town, this gangsters-and-cops story didn’t have quite the emotional impact The Town did, nor is it on the same level as Don Winslow’s writing on the same subject, but it was still a good read. This Chicago-based, late ‘70s setting novel would have gotten four stars if it hadn’t been for the ending, which was wrapped up a little too neatly, conveniently, and quickly.”
