Description
In 1960s and 70s New York's South Bronx, arson-for-profit drove hundreds of thousands from their homes, injuring and killing thousands. Firefighters fought back against unscrupulous landlords and their torchmen, but the mayor refused to give them the manpower they needed. Jackie Mulligan, a firefighter, stood up to the evil of slumlords by demanding action from the mayor. When this failed, he and his colleagues took matters into their own hands, risking their lives in the process. For Mulligan, the fight had become personal, with only one winner emerging. John Finucane's novel brings the drama of this period to life, drawing on his experience as a firefighter to create a riveting story that puts the reader inside the fire scene.
