Heart of the Old Country
Tim McLoughlin2001

South Brooklyn. Not the Brooklyn of Spike Lee or Matty Rich, but a counterpoint: those left behind in the white flight. Mike is 19 and at loose ends: driving for Big Lou's Car Service and trying to decide if he should stay in college or drift into the omnipresent arena of local organized crime. Mike's life is changed forever as he's forced to confront the grim realities of wiseguy justice and his own culpability in its execution.
