Boston, like Chicago, has a reputation for gangsters controlling many aspects of public life, including the politicians. This was especially true during Prohibition, when this novel takes place. If you like noir criminal fiction, this one's for you. Its 'hero' is the son of an honest police captain. But unlike his father, he opts for the lawless side of Law and Order.
