New York Times bestselling author, Andrew Gross, delivers a compelling tale of a family torn apart by organized crime.

New York, 1930s. Three brothers growing up poor and rough on the Lower East Side are forced to fend for themselves after the death of their father. Two of them go to work in the garment industry while the other, Harry, is taken under the wing of a local crime figure. While his brothers find career success, Harry learns the ways and means of becoming a "button man"—a gun man—for one of the most ruthless mobsters in the city. But soon Harry finds himself on a collision course when his boss sets his sights on the unions that control the garment factories. Now a fatal showdown becomes inevitable, pitting brother against brother.
