This must-read novel is unlike any gangster novel you've ever read. The storyline and characters are wildly unique. Although the story is set in the nineties, a gangster of a new breed is a timeless concept; it's a gangster who seeks to turn his life around. But as Tony Madden finds out the hard way, the road to redemption can be a bloody one. Tony grows up on the lower east side of St. Paul at a time when crime was rampant and disorganized. But after a decade of brutal gangland wars, Tony and his vicious cohorts rise to become the indisputable Minnesota mob. That is, until the Mafia moves in to try and take over! Suddenly, the Twin Cities are under siege, and the Madden mob finds out what they're really made of.
