The Fall

King of the City, #3

“Death had never felt so close.”

The Age of Prohibition has made David Kelly and his family business into the largest and strongest crime outfit in the whole of New York. David, now an old man, rules the family with a paranoid eye, watching their every move. His tyranny has driven his wife Sarah into reclusion and his son Patrick into the heart of his criminal empire, while his youngest son Gordon wilts through ill health.

But with Franklin D. Roosevelt threatening to overturn Prohibition, David finally realises his business has to change. With one shot at the Governorship of New York, he could rule the whole state for generations.

But with betrayal coming from every turn and the reappearance of a family member he thought dead, the fall is coming.

And the fall will be hard…
