Reseña del libro "Hizzoner, A Scoundrel's Story (en Inglés)"

Urban political and criminal scoundrel humor at its most outrageous. The year is 1980 and New York City is in the throes of a crisis. City services are in decline. Financial deficits are mounting, pushing the city to the brink of bankruptcy. Every corner of the city wreaks from a month old sanitation union strike. Violent crime is escalating by the day and a serial killer the tabloids call "Splatter" is on the loose. Paralleling the city's crisis is that of the tiny Manhattan mob led by Tony "Gimp" Giampa. As leader of the country's most lucrative organized crime family, Gimp and his mob are fast becoming victims of their own success as three competing parasitic crime families are threatening war if Gimp does not turn over a share of his lucrative rackets to them. With a growing sense of desperation, corrupt city fixer-politician, Sol Bernstein, convinces Gimp to use his name recognition as an "unorthodox" successful businessman to fuel a Gimp long shot electoral run for mayor with the intent to enlist the forces of municipal government in support of his citywide mob war. Can the country's most financially successful crime boss lead the country's largest city out of its darkest hour while simultaneously engaged in a mob war for his own survival?
