More about the book
Best friends Paulie and Vincent grew up without fathers on Chicago's west side. Paulie learned how to be a man from TV cop shows, while Vincent's role models were the wise guys who hung out on street corners. As men, Paulie joins the FBI with hopes to escape his past, while Vincent becomes a private investigator who works for the "family" business. When their lives intersect as adults, they are torn between devotion to each other and loyalty to their respective organizations. And because of a blood oath that Paulie and Vincent made to their friendship, a long-buried secret threatens both of them. A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld, this novel pulsates with more authenticity than any true crime narrative. If you want to know how things were done-and are still done-on the streets of Chicago, The Neighborhood is the book to read.
