This action-packed thriller pits a World War I veteran against local gangsters and the Italian mob in a desperate struggle to control Harlem’s underworld
In his life, Jackson Blaze has been many things: hustler, prizefighter, leg breaker, and decorated war hero. Upon returning from World War I to his adopted home of Harlem, New York, he finds himself in the middle of a war between gangster boss Jimmy Rose and the Jewish Mafia for control of Harlem’s lucrative underworld.
After recruiting a handful of his World War I comrades to aid him, Jackson wages guerilla warfare against some of the toughest hoods in New York City. As if he doesn’t have enough to worry about, he also finds himself in a passionate love affair with the beautiful and mysterious dancer known only as Tamara.
When the stakes are life and death, the slightest mistake could spell disaster. If he has any hope of survival, Jackson must decide whether to follow his head or his heart.
