A hilarious tale of Philadelphia politics at the gritty
street level
Newly repackaged and available for the
first time in trade paperback, The Sunday Macaroni
Club is a magnificently told story by a powerful author.
Steve Lopez gives readers a vivid and rich portrait of local
politics gone amok, and one woman's quest for happiness and
fulfillment. Fleeing a disastrous love affair in Boston,
Assistant District Attorney Lisa Savitch--beautiful,
brilliant, brave--relocates to Philadelphia, where she is
partnered with ex-FBI agent Mike Muldoon. Lisa is assigned
to get the goods on the Sunday Macaroni Club--an old-time,
South Philly political machine led by Augie Sangiamino, a
former United States Senator, and his two cronies, state
representative "Ham" Flaherty, who's running for Congress,
and Judge "Izzy" Weiner. In the style of Elmore Leonard and
Carl Hiaasen, Lopez tells a story that is as funny as it is
true to life.
"Richly knowing, very funny."--The
Washington Post
"Lopez entertains with a style
that's crisp and colorful."--San Diego
Union-Tribune
"Steve Lopez's message has never
been more human, or more entertaining."--Philadelphia
Inquirer
