Signed by author on title page and dated. First edition with full number line.Jack "Wacko" Curran and his brother Kevin are ambitious, highly successful earners for the South Boston Irish mob. They're young, menacing, and tired of paying tribute to mob boss Marty Fallon. They sense the time has come to move up, but moves are costly. They start to plan their own crew and their own big hits, but Marty isn't new to this game and can see the trouble ahead. He'll do just about anything to get rid of the Curran brothers for good. Even become a top echelon informant for the FBI.Already immersed in the world of loan sharking, drug dealing, and occasional murder, Wacko is forced to consider his options in the South Boston Underworld. Will he want to stay in, or get out of the mobster's life that he has chosen. Wacko is one of the most compelling, repellant, perversely sympathetic antiheroes in a generation. He's at the center of a maelstrom of guns, drugs, loyalty, and betrayal; a Southie "Boyo" speaking his brand of truth to power.
