Forsaking All Others: A Novel

A Puerto Rican gang leader goes to war for control of the South Bronx

The Department of Corrections makes a mistake when it grants parole to a young man named Teenager. After a few years in jail for dealing narcotics, the young Puerto Rican immigrant promises the parole board that he has gone straight. But Teenager has no intention of abandoning his life of crime. He dreams only of money, and will do anything to make himself rich.
Â
When Teenager enters business with the Lucchese family, whose boss has a line on the purest heroin in New York, success seems all but assuredâ€”until a scorching affair between the bossâ€™s wife and a young lawyer named Maximo threatens to ruin the entire operation. Their passion is instantaneous, but Teenager will make certain that before they can be together, the Bronx is going to burn.
