Across 110th Street
Wally Ferris
Stuart Cosgrove
Across 110th Street is a hard-boiled action thriller set in the mean streets of Harlem in the last days of the 1960s. Heroin has a grip on uptown New York and war is breaking out between the law, big-time racketeers and ghetto factions. The book begins with a multiple murder during a mafia payroll hijacking and never lets up in pace.The novel enjoyed brief fame, later becoming a holy grail item for collectors tracking down rare records and cultural memorabilia. An underground classic that changed hands for over GBP100, this smart new edition rescues Across 110th Street from obscurity.
