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.
