Anthony Pellicano - "The Neighborhood"
From Anthony Pellicano - “Hollywood Fixer” - comes his first work of not-so-fictional fiction, The Neighborhood.
The world's most infamous and sought-after private investigator got his start on the streets of South Chicago in the 1960s. After decades as a private eye to dozens of celebrity clients - and a 17-year prison stint to protect their confidences - Anthony Pellicano returns to the spotlight, this time with his first novel, The Neighborhood.
This is the story of best friends - brothers, really - Paulie and Vincent, who grew up without fathers on Chicago’s southside.
Paulie learns how to be a man from TV cop shows, while Vincent's role models are the wise guys on street corners. Paulie joins the FBI with hopes to escape his past, while Vincent becomes a private investigator who works for the “family” business. When the two men reconcile, they are torn between devotion to each other and loyalty to their respective organizations. Despite a blood oath that Paulie and Vincent made to their friendship, someone may have to die for it.
A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld, this novel pulsates with more authenticity than any gangster true crime. If you want to know how things were done - and are still done - on the streets of Chicago, The Neighborhood is the book to listen to.
