"I don't care what Nia has to say, or I suppose, that she could be talking about anything at all and I would listen with the same contentment. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if I started purring myself. I'm in love with her, I realize, maybe I have been from the first moment I saw her walk into the restaurant. She is so unlike anyone I have ever met before that I cannot begin to unravel exactly what it is about her that makes her so alluring, so fascinating. It terrifies me that I cannot, now, imagine my life without her."
Little Italy-born and penitentiary-raised, Antonio Cipriani seeks a new life free of crime in his post-parole neighborhood of Gravesend, Brooklyn. When meeting the woman of his dreams turns into witnessing a double murder, an escalating wave of gang violence is triggered that threatens to consume not only Avenue U, but the whole of South Brooklyn.
As Tony navigates this surreal and perilous underworld peopled with enigmatic natives from the psychotic to the seductive, he finds himself a reluctant soldier in the final battle of a war that began nearly fifty years before. Stumbling across unexpected allies and uncovering a dense web of shocking family secrets, Cipriani discovers that the monsters you fear in the night are not nearly as dangerous as the ones you meet in broad daylight.
