Review:
"...atmospheric retro-noir--"Once Upon a Time in America" meets "The Big Combo"."
Kirkus, 04/15/1996
Review:"Plenty of action, sex and gore. And melodrama. But there's heart, too. Which is what lifts this novel above its genre."
David Delman, Philadelphia Inquirer, 08/04/1996

Book Description: St Martin's Press, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. St Martin's Gri. 241 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. For Joey Recevo and Pete Karras, two kids from one of Washington's rougher neighborhoods, the easiest work to find after the War is all criminal---providing a little muscle for a local boss. But Karris is soft on his fellow immigrants, and the boss can't let his mob get soft, so one of his boys gives Karras a painful lesson. Three years later, it's the same mob that figures big Nick Stefanos's grill needs protection---and this decision will once again bring Joey and Pete face-to-face. In this final confrontation, the two of them will find the meaning of friendship, the heart of honor, and the cost of both. Powerfully told, elegantly wrought, "The Big Blowdown" is a knockout.
