The third novel by the author of The Rackets follows the heart-wrenching love story of an Irish immigrant and an artist told against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the construction of the Empire State Building.
Review:
"...Kelly's mastery of narrative drive holds the attention, and few who start this white-hot novel will fail to finish it."
Kirkus, 11/15/2004
Review:"[Kelly] is neither an elegant stylist nor a particularly close observer of the human condition. But there is a compelling muscularity to his work--the plots barrel along, the characters are wildly colorful--and there is a dead-on authenticity to the dialogue and the atmospherics. There is also a bracing, and rare appreciation for the sheer satisfaction of honest work....EMPIRE RISING is an ode to urban grease; I'll never look at that grand old building the same way again."
Joe Klein, New York Times Book Review, 02/13/2005

It is 1930, and ground has just been broken for the Empire State Building. One of the thousands of men who will come to work high above the city is Michael Briody, an Irish immigrant torn between his desire to make a new life in America and his pledge to gather money and arms for the Irish republican cause. When he meets Grace Masterson, an alluring artist who is depicting the great skyscraper's rise from her houseboat on the East River, Briody's life suddenly turns exhilarating--and dangerous--for Grace is also a paramour of Johnny Farrell, Mayor Jimmy Walker's liaison with Tammany Hall and the underworld.
