Jim Fusilli’s new novel takes place in the years surrounding
World War II in the dangerous immigrant neighborhood of
Narrows Gate, overlooking the Hudson River, where anything
can happen—and it usually does. Sal Benno is a neighborhood
kid who doesn’t take to school but is able to provide the
favors the Mafia needs, a skill that brings him into their
inner circle and closer to ultimate danger. His lifelong
friend Leo Bell sticks by Sal through thick and thin, but
harbors a dangerous secret that could either keep Sal
alive—or bring his life to an abrupt end. In the middle of
it is Billy “Bebe” Marsala, a hugely popular and handsome
crooner who becomes a pawn in a mob war that could destroy
them all. A novel that rekindles the spirit of such
groundbreaking works as Mario Puzo’s The Godfather and Budd
Schulberg’s On the Waterfront, Narrows Gate is a powerful,
epic saga that captures the heart of the immigrant
experience—and the soul of America.
