Um þessa hljóðbók
From International Bestseller Andrew Gross, The Last Brother is the thrilling historical novel about three brothers and the Mafia in 1930s New York. Published in the USA as Button Man.
United by blood
As the death of their father thrusts them into early adulthood, three brothers–Morris, Sol, and Harry Rabishevsky–find themselves navigating survival in the harsh reality of the Lower East Side, each taking on a path that could either unite them or break their familial bonds forever.
Divided by ambition
Twelve-year-old Morris Rabishevsky apprentices himself to a garment manufacturer with the dream of one day running the business. Sol, six years older, heads to accounting school but is forced to drop out. Scarred by a family tragedy, Harry falls under the spell of the charismatic Louis Buchalter and his underworld operations.
Torn apart by conflict
Morris convinces Sol to go into business with him, but Harry can’t be lured away from the glamour, power and money of the mob. As their business grows, Buchalter sets his sights on the unions that control the garment maker’s factories, setting up a fatal showdown that could bring them together or shatter their family forever.
