Descriere magazin:
Cambridge Street copyright 2017 and 2021Crime, high taxes and poverty force Gianna, Paolo and his two brothers to leave Sicily. They arrive in freezing, squalid Chicago at the dawning of the Roaring Twenties and quickly learn that they are not wanted in their new homeland. The family moves into a fourth floor apartment in a tenement building on Cambridge Street in Little Sicily, also known as Little Hell. It\'s an accurate name for the slum neighborhood. Slaughterhouse wages, even after working twelve hours a day, barely cover the rent and feed the growing family. Survival is a day-to-day struggle but they are determined that their children will be Americans. Neighborhood crime boss Malo Tancredi, with the help of dirty cops and crooked politicians, runs the people and businesses in Little Sicily with an iron fist. His brutal enforcers, men like Gazzo D\'Napoli, Santo and Lupo, keep everyone in line.When an act of terrible and unforgiveable violence is committed against his family, Paolo swears revenge. Don Tancredi will not - cannot - tolerate disrespect and sends killers to murder Paolo publicly as an example to the rest of the neighborhood. With the young father\'s violent death at the hands of gangsters imminent and certain, Paolo and Gianna stand together - and alone - against the monsters that wait outside their door to slaughter him. Their actions will determine who they are as people and decide the futures of their children.REVIEW: Decker\'s prolific story telling tugs at the heartstrings with his descriptions of love, honor, and dignity within Italian family lives, as well as shocking the reader with the realities of political and law enforcement corruption, racism, and the vicious, psychopathic doings by Mafia mob bosses and their henchmen killers. For people of Italian heritage, and people of other heritages, Decker\'s novel is a \'must read\' page-turner, and once readers start reading, they won\'t be able to put it down until reaching the climatic ending.
