BIG TOWN HC NOVEL (C: 0-1-2)

Description

"From the award-winning author of The Last Rose Of Summer and This Side Of Jordan comes a new prose novel framed within a city where gangsters murder ordinary citizens and everyone seems to have a get-rich scheme. Set as the Roaring '20s come to a thunderous close, The Big Town evokes a lost era through language and flamboyant characters reminiscent of Fitzgerald, Dos Passos and Ring Lardner, and yet it also eerily mirrors our own time with its study of the role of business, crime, morality, and love in our lives."
