Industry Reviews
"[THE RACKETS] delivers the goods in its gritty details of municipal corruption, both blue- and white-collar, with a healthy dose of class consciousness."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Levy (06/01/2001)

"Cinematic and completely enthralling.... Think Dostoyevsky with a hard hat and lead pipe."
Village Voice - Rich Levin (07/04/2001)

"...[E]verything you could want in a quick urban crime read..."
Salon (07/16/2001)

"...THE RACKETS is not just a well-paced, violent thriller or an insider's look at construction unions--it's an elegy for the city's old Irish working class, and even for its tangled, unavoidable dealings with the Mafia. It's a song, in other words, for two of the city's old tribes, who eventually, or soon, will disappear."
New York Times Book Review - Colin Harrison (07/29/2001)
