Book Description:
As a fresh face in the hard-boiled crime fiction
sweepstakes, Green (Shooting Dr. Jack) is carving out a niche for himself
with his piercing portraits of men trapped by their tainted pasts. Green's
new hero, Silvano Iurata, is a Vietnam vet and a Buddhist who has returned
to his native Brooklyn. He knows that he should not have come back home,
since his mob-connected family has it in for him, but he has to find his
brother, Noonie, who has mysteriously disappeared. He haunts the seedy
hotels, dark alleys, dives and flophouses of the borough, drifting from one
false lead to the next, deciphering double-crosses and dodging bullets,
fists and romance. His relatives hold a number of grudges, both real and
imagined, against him. Uncle Angelo, a genuine mobster out of central
casting, believes Silvano is untrustworthy and spills family secrets. Little
Dom, Silvano's cousin, wants him dead for a series of slights going back to
their teen years. While Green lacks the clever wordplay of Elmore Leonard or
the brooding explosiveness of Joe Connelly and George Pelacanos, he gets off
some hilarious bits of dialogue, sudden bursts of manic action and sharp
tongue-in-cheek descriptions.
