2023 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel and a New York Times Best
Crime Novel of 2022
From the acclaimed author of The Town, a "masterly" epic thriller
about the secret right-hand man of one of the most infamous unprosecuted
mob bosses in American history (New York Times Book Review).
In the late 1970s, The Outfit has the entire city of Chicago in its
hands. Tony Accardo is its fearless leader. Nicky Passero is his loyal
soldier, though no one knows he has a direct line in to the boss of
bosses. When the Christmas gift Accardo got for his wife, an inscribed
bracelet with gold and diamond inlay, is stolen along with other items
in a jewelry heist, Nicky is charged with tracking down and returning
all of the items--by whatever means necessary.
Forced into an impossible situation, Nicky must find a way to carry out
Accardo's increasingly unhinged instructions and survive the battle for
control of Chicago. What Accardo doesn't know: Nicky has a secret which
has made his life impossible and has put him in the pocket of the FBI.
Based on the true story of Tony Accardo, the longest-reigning mob capo
in history, Gangland is a Shakespearean-esque drama of integrity, lost
honor, and revenge. Gritty and action-packed, it is the ultimate
gangster tale and Chuck Hogan's most thrilling novel yet.
