Narrows Gate

Narrows Gate

Jim Fusilliâ€™s new novel takes place in the years surrounding World War II in the dangerous immigrant neighborhood of Narrows Gate, overlooking the Hudson River, where anything can happenâ€”and it usually does. Sal Benno is a neighborhood kid who doesnâ€™t take to school but is able to provide the favors the Mafia needs, a skill that brings him into their inner circle and closer to ultimate danger. His lifelong friend Leo Bell sticks by Sal through thick and thin, but harbors a dangerous secret that could either keep Sal aliveâ€”or bring his life to an abrupt end. In the middle of it is Billy â€œBebeâ€ Marsala, a hugely popular and handsome crooner who becomes a pawn in a mob war that could destroy them all. A novel that rekindles the spirit of such groundbreaking works as Mario Puzoâ€™s The Godfather and Budd Schulbergâ€™s On the Waterfront, Narrows Gate is a powerful, epic saga that captures the heart of the immigrant experienceâ€”and the soul of America.
