Descriere magazin:
Contributor(s): Author: Andrew Gross Following up The One Man and The Saboteur , Gross\'s next historical thriller brings to life the drama of the birth of organized crime in 1930s New York City from the tale of one family. After a string of New York Times bestselling suburban thrillers, Andrew Gross has reinvented himself as a writer of historical thrillers. In his latest novel, Button Man , he delivers a stirring story of a Jewish family brought together in the dawn of the women\'s garment business and torn apart by the birth of organized crime in New York City in the 1930s. Morris, Sol, and Harry Rabishevsky grew up poor and rough in a tiny flat on the Lower East Side, until the death of their father thrust them into having to fend for themselves and support their large family. Morris, the youngest, dropped out of school at twelve years old and apprenticed himself to a garment cutter in a clothing factory; Sol headed to accounting school; but Harry, scarred by a family tragedy, fell in with a gang of thugs as a teenager. Morris steadily climbs through the ranks at the factory until at twenty-one he finally goes out on his own, convincing Sol to come work with him. But Harry can\'t be lured away from the glamour, the power, and the money that come from his association with Louis Buchalter, whom Morris has battled with since his youth and who has risen to become the most ruthless mobster in New York. And when Buchalter sets his sights on the unions that staff the garment makers\' factories, a fatal showdown is inevitable, pitting brother against brother. This new novel is equal parts historical thriller, rich with the detail of a vibrant New York City in the 1920s and 1930s, and family saga, based on Andrew Gross\'s own family story and on the history of the era, complete with appearances by real-life characters like mobsters Louis Lepke and Dutch Schultz and special prosecutor Thomas Dewey, and cements Gross\'s reputation as today\'s most atmospheric and original historical thriller writer.   Review citations Library Journal Prepub Alert - pg. 46 - 04/15/2018 Publishers Weekly - 07/30/2018 Library Journal - pg. 65 - 06/15/2018 Kirkus Reviews - 07/15/2018 Booklist / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 31 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 31 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 31 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 31 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Highly Recommended - pg. 31 - 08/01/2018
