Book Description
Hell's Kitchen! Out of its broth have come theives, gangsters, gunmen - the criminal world of New York. But out of it, schooled by a childhood of tough play that often foretold the future, come also some of New York's "finest" - the cops.
It was as a kid in Hell's Kitchen that Danny Noble got his first hard lessons in the fierce battle of law against crime. With him grew up Ownie Gill, a push cart thief who grew up to big time racketeering; Jimmy McGee, the bot "umpire" who became a crooked lawyer, the gangster's mouthpiece; and poor Tommy Moore who might have grown up decent anywhere else, but who was sucked into the slimy depths of Hell's Kitchen. And there was also brave and tender Mary Moore who made the world worth living in for Danny.
The story shows the police in action. It is based on actual police records and into its plot is woven some of the most sensational cases in crime history.
A gripping story of desperate battles with thugs, river pirates, shifty dope peddlers, crooked lawyers and racketeers.
