Riding for a Fall

Deke Reno is a small-time player for a New York mob family. Reno, a reluctant thug, has managed to skirt both the law and the attention of his boss...until now. He makes the mistake of helping a broad being blackmailed by his boss. He then makes another; falling in love with her. Suddenly, Reno's got the attention of the cops and the mob and finds himself caught between his loyalty to the only family he's really ever known and his long-neglected morals. Set in the 1950s, this crime-noire is a classic page turner that drops you deep into the lives of New York's seedy underbelly.
