“Maxx is Spillane with a vicious sense of humor. The book kept me up at night!” —J. Christoph Amberger, author of The Lazarus Smile

Vic Del Frate isn’t your average hood. He is violent, crude, greedy—and he has a head for numbers. He’s a figurer, a schemer, a manipulator who’s as deadly with his hands as he is playing the stock market of pre-Crash Wall Street. Worst of all, he’s head over two-tone wingtip heels in love with the woman of a rich conman. Vic infiltrates a major stock market scam, derails the grand opening of a new railroad, and accidentally blows up a train station before his ugly past catches up with him. This first instalment of his memoirs, based on audio tapes discovered in a Miami yard sale, catapults the reader straight into the corrupt underbelly of Prohibition-era New York City—a world of brutal gangsters, reptilian frauds, and beautiful, vengeful broads, a lethal warren of Macchiavellian power struggles, Byzantine plots, and epic Fratricide...
