'Gangster is a brilliant, multilayered novel that breathes and bleeds on every page. Lorenzo Carcaterra has captured the gritty, frightening, and conflicted world of organized crime - and the human beings who inhabit it - with honesty and depth. This book transcends the genre of 'crime fiction.' It is a full-blooded novel, and an epic read' Robert Crais
'If you are a Sopranos fan, this is the book for you ... these people are fascinating, in the way tarantulas seen from a distance are fascinating. But one wouldn't want to get too close' Irish Times
'An epic that embraces not only a handful of flawed men and women on the margins of society, but their time and place too. [Carcaterra's] familiarity with the underworld shines through...[he] knows the underworld's rhythms and philosophy as well as he knows its dirty streets, rain-slicked piers and smoke-filled social clubs' Denver Post
'Expect high demand for this very compelling drama' Booklist
