Synopsis

In the early 1980s, a new scourge is unleashed upon an unsuspecting America. Crack cocaine. The tenuous grip on law and order is finally broken as organized gangs run amok. None of their leaders is more evil than Lucia Carney whose drug empire grows and grows at the cost of thousands of lives, many of them innocent ones.
With the forces of law and order incapable of breaking the gangs, a new type of enforcement is required; a rogue force, outside the restrictions of the Police Code. These men and women arc called the Apaches. They have little left to lose, having already lost their police badges as a result of the wounds and disabilities sustained in the course of duty. They arc the avenging angels who will descend on Carney's empire and, irrespective of personal cost, destroy it forever.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Lorenzo Carcaterra was born in New York where he still lives. He was a reporter on the New York Daily News before he wrote his first book of non-fiction, A Safe Place, which recounts how he discovered, at the age of fourteen, that his father had murdered his first wife. Sleepers, which became a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic, tells of the abuse and torture he suffered in a boy's reformatory, and is now a major Propaganda film.

Revue de presse :

"The action moves relentlessly...setreet-wise, hyper-violent" (Peter Millar, The Times)

"Apaches showcases Carcaterra's ability to create chillingly evil characters and a world horrifying in its depravity" (The Washington Post)
