For Joey Recevo and Pete Karras, two kids from one of
Washington's rougher neighborhoods, the easiest work to find
after the War is all criminal---providing a little muscle
for a local boss. But Karris is soft on his fellow
immigrants, and the boss can't let his mob get soft, so one
of his boys gives Karras a painful lesson.
Three years later, it's the same mob that figures big Nick
Stefanos's grill needs protection---and this decision will
once again bring Joey and Pete face-to-face. In this final
confrontation, the two of them will find the meaning of
friendship, the heart of honor, and the cost of both.
Powerfully told, elegantly wrought, The Big Blowdown is a
knockout.
