About Apaches of New York

The Godfather meets Gangs of New York The dreaded Clutch Hand, the first Boss of Bosses of the young American Mafia, has been arrested. While the prosecutors and the papers celebrate Giuseppe Morello’s end of terror the underworld seethes as the order he imposed breaks down. Soon chaos descends on New York City as powerful gangsters fight to take the vacant throne. Emerging from the imprisoned Godfather’s long shadow are his half brothers, the Terranovas. Vincenzo, Ciro and Nick watch as East Harlem is torn apart by a vicious gang war between the self-proclaimed King of Little Italy and the mad bomber Zopo the Gimp. The brothers do all they can to steer clear of the violence and survive but a shocking crime close to home forces them to realize that their days of peace are over. The novel follows the Terranovas as they try to save the family (and the Family) from ruin and the neighborhood from the depredations of Black Hand extortionists and other criminals. Apaches of New York is based on the true story of New York's first Mafia Family. It is a story of revenge, family, and the origins of organized crime in America.
