The Neighborhood - Paperback

by Anthony Pellicano (Author)

A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld where loyalty and ambition collide.

Best friends Paulie and Vincent grow up fatherless on Chicago's west side, their lives shaped by contrasting influences: TV cop shows for Paulie, and street corner wise guys for Vincent. As adults, Paulie joins the FBI, seeking escape, while Vincent becomes a private investigator entangled with the "family" business.

Their paths intersect, testing their bond against the pull of their respective organizations. A blood oath forged in childhood clashes with adult loyalties, unearthing a long-buried secret that threatens to destroy them both. Will their friendship survive the dangerous game, or will the streets claim them as another casualty of the Neighborhood?
