FIRST LOOK: BROWNSVILLE HC
Brownsville HC will arrive in stores in February from NBM Publishing. The book is by Neil Kleid and Jake Allen.
Here's how NBM describes the book:
"In the 1930's, life in Brooklyn was murder. "Jewish gangster" isn't a term you hear much in post-Holocaust society ... but back when the Dodgers played in the East, and licorice cost a penny a bag, Brooklyn corners were lousy with semitic young toughs looking for adventure and excitement ‹ none more so than in Brownsville. Follow the intertwined lives of Allie Tanennbaum, Abe Reles, and scores of hoods organized by Louis Lepke Buchalter into the deadliest hit operation in Mafia history, 'Murder, Inc.', as they escape the mean streets and lonely tenements of East New York, and make themselves into the most dangerous men in America, only to eventually send their best friends and closest allies up the river."
Brownsville HC will be 200 black-and-white pages and will cost $18.95.
