Club Cargo - E-book - ePub

Boston in the 1960s was in the grip of Irish and Italian gangs. Willie Shine was a young gambler with an ambitious proposal to open a club. Permission from gangster boss Jack Ross was needed. Willie's business partner was living with Ross's daughter. Detective Ryan, the head of a taskforce empowered to bring down the gangs, despised Willie for seducing his daughter. Club Cargo became the in-place to be in Boston until is was attacked in a drive-by shooting.
Who was to blame? Who would benefit? Willie was left without knowing who or why as he followed a trail of deception to an unexpected showdown. An insight into the world of gangsters, gambling, trust, deception, and revenge, written with the slang, the music, and the values of the era.
