Brooklynese

by David Alexander

Overview

When a billion dollar diamond deal cut by one of New York's heaviest crime families goes sour, and the consignment of rare gems is lost overseas, a crew of wise guys straight out of Brooklyn is ordered to get it back -- any way they can.

From the mean streets of New York City's prime mafia borough, comes a chase after savvy and streetwise bank robbers and jewel thieves that crosses international boundaries and time zones with the speed of a jet plane.

Alexander weaves everything together with the skill of a true master of the action thriller category in an unforgettable extravaganza of capers, mayhem, hot gems, desperate men, dangerous women, and accomplished criminals who will stop at nothing to gain possession of a treasure whose value is almost beyond calculation.

This is an international caper novel to end all caper novels, a nonstop page-turner jam-packed with action and hairpin plot turns from start to finish and one of Alexander's boldest books ever.
