Jimmy Dolan, onetime roughneck construction worker, is now an Ivy League-educated advance man for New York City's stubborn mayor. But when he strikes out against the corrupt union boss at a power breakfast, he is fired and thrown back into the working-class world he thought he had left behind. Meanwhile, Jimmy's father, beloved by union members, is running for President of the Teamsters. When his father is brutally muscled out of the race, Jimmy must risk his life, and that of his police officer girlfriend, to defend the interests of the union members.Set in the union halls, taverns, and half-built skyscrapers of Manhattan, and populated by Irish racketeers, Italian mobsters, and Russian killers, The Rackets is a fast-paced, literary thriller. The Rackets has earned Thomas Kelly comparisons to Richard Price, Nelson Algren and Mario Puzo, The Rackets cements Kelly's reputation as a talented urban novelist who knows how the city's players gain and maintain their power.
