A tough-skinned youngster, Frankie Kane rose from the sordid depths of the slums where vice and corruption are commonplace, to control a nationwide syndicate that thrived on every human weakness and ruled the lives of millions. Scarcely a single aspect of human frailty and degradation is absent from this stark tale. From the moment the tragic childhood of an unwanted orphan ended, a life on unceasing crime began - motivated always by the hungry lust for power that drives men to violent death. Here is a brilliant expose of a city strangled by the every-reaching tentacles of vicious gangsters and corrupt politicians. But throughout this saga of violence runs the redeeming thread of a harsh yet tender passion for a woman whose love for Frankie never ceased.
