A gripping and lushly illustrated tale set between 1930s Chicago and New York’s criminal underworld
Chicago, 1930. Jules Tivoli is a penniless Italian immigrant doing odd jobs to make ends meet. A twist of fate causes him to cross paths with Adam, a kingpin in Chicago’s criminal underworld who sees something in Jules.
Under Adam’s wing, Jules becomes somebody. But after an FBI crackdown, Adam and Jules must flee to New York to escape being caught in the ensuing chaos. There, Jules’s Italian heritage gains him access, recognition, and power in the Cosa Nostra crime family.
As Jules becomes more important in a city where Adam can’t seem to catch a break, he meets Eufrasio—his ambitious new partner who insists that Adam is holding Jules back. But Jules would be nothing without Adam—wouldn’t he?
Torn between his past and his future, a sudden betrayal forces Jules to find a way to prove his loyalty—if he can even manage to make it out alive.
