Sinossi

In "The Law-Breakers and Other Stories," Robert Grant takes readers on a compelling journey through the intricacies of human behavior against the backdrop of societal norms and legal structures. Written in a keen, approachable prose style, Grant's stories explore themes of justice, morality, and the frailty of the human condition, reflecting the late 19th-century American landscape. The collection highlights the tensions between individual desires and societal expectations, often spotlighting characters who challenge the established order, thereby inviting readers to ponder the nature of legality and ethicality in their lives. Robert Grant, an accomplished novelist and short story writer, was known for his engrossing narratives that delved into the complexities of life in urban America. His experiences as a prominent lawyer provided him with profound insights into the legal system, which profoundly influenced the themes in his writing. Grant's dual background in law and literature allows him to craft poignant stories rich in authenticity, melding legal intricacies with compelling human drama, making his work a unique contribution to American literature. I highly recommend "The Law-Breakers and Other Stories" to readers who are fascinated by the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a rapidly changing society. Grant's perceptive character studies and masterful storytelling will resonate deeply, prompting not only reflection on the nature of justice but also evoking empathy for those who transgress the law in their quest for personal truth.

    Expulsed Harvard student and ex-Special Forces operative Joe Brody is getting his life back together, living with his grandmother in Queens and taking what should be a simple job as a bouncer at a strip club where he can spend most of his night reading the classics. The only catch is that his childhood friend Gio Caprisi, now head of New York's Italian Mafia, relies on Joe’s extra-legal expertise when things get particularly nasty on the streets—where, in an agreement between Gio and the rest of the city's biggest crime syndicates, it's understood that Joe is the sheriff for an industry that doesn’t call the cops. 
     
     
     
    Most recently, New York's criminal underworld has been shaken by the disappearance of its most successful and desirable call girls, vanishing one by one from the brothels where they're employed. As a pattern emerges, what might otherwise appear to be a choice to pursue a new life comes to resemble something more troublesome—the work of a serial kidnapper—and when a woman turns up dead, the hunt for the predator behind it all becomes even more urgent. 
     
     
     
    To find the killer, Joe will have to plunge into the seediest fringes of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs, populated with memorable characters that add humor and heart to this fast-paced caper.
