A solid, well-written modern (late 1980's) gangster drama. While this didn't have as much mafiaso action as, say, The Godfather or even Winslow's "The Winter of Frankie Machine" it deserves a seat at the table for this genre. Eagerly awaiting the second part "City of Dreams" whenever that releases.

Engrossing to say the least. I'll hold off on a 'review' until the series is done, but this one is a page burner!
