"MURDER, INC. LEADER DEAD!" So read the headlines when Abe "Kid Twist" Reles mysteriously fell to his death from a hotel room while under heavy police protection. Reles' life and ultimate fate are seen through the eyes of Jimmy "Irish" O'Connell, a teenager taken in by Reles. This coming-of-age story of "Irish" and his relationship with Brooklyn gangster Abe Reles is, at once, compassionate and ruthless. Although a work of fiction, the novel includes true events concerning Reles' life and times. Taking place in East New York and Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, between the depression years of 1931 and 1940, the book portrays crime on the streets when hijacking, prostitution, and murder were typical events.
