Fiction
The King of West Brooklyn
by David Alexander
Description
The King of West Brooklyn is a crime novel that begins and ends on the mean streets of Gravesend, the toughest neighborhood of New York City's toughest borough and the heart of notorious West Brooklyn. It's a place where organized crime still rules and where wise guys have to think fast, hit hard or get whacked.
In between, the novel crosses international boundaries and time zones with the speed of sound as West Brooklyn's most accomplished safe and loft burglar takes on a European job in order to pay back the markers held on him by boss of bosses Tony Pug. This is a caper novel to end all caper novels, a non-stop page-turner from start to finish, and one of Author David Aleander's boldest books ever.
Authors don't come any better than David Alexander, and his tough-as-nails global thriller The King of West Brooklyn represents his taking the fine art of mayhem to an exciting new level of accomplishment. The depth of insight into the world of the Mafia, black intelligence ops, tomb raiding tombaroli, historical arcana, exotic military technologies and the inner mainsprings of political intrigue -- to name but a few of this book's points of focus -- seems at times close to envisaging actual events.

Reviews
Crime Does Pay: The King of West Brooklyn Scores
"The Mezzatestas, David Alexander's fictitious crime family in The King of West Brooklyn, are the new Corleones." -- USA Today
"Bestseller! Bestseller! Bestseller! The word should be shouted at least three times as a kind of Brooklyn cheer, because David Alexander's crime thriller The King of West Brooklyn has "Bestseller!" written all over it." -- NY Daily News
"Today Brooklyn, tomorrow the world ... David Alexander has the names of two conquering heroes and The King of West Brooklyn is world-class ... a thriller with style, guts and endless quantities of Brooklyn chutzpah applied as thickly as mozzarella cheese on a Brooklyn pizza. Alexander is an author who is going places. Hopefully one of them is not jail, as some of the criminal capers described in the novel read almost like he was taking notes at the scene of the crime ." -- L.A. Times
