Carl Matsuki and his brother Adam are living in Portland,Oregon with their Uncle Pete ever since their mom died. Adam has always been the one that Carl relied upon, especially now, being Polish Catholics living in an anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic area. However, Carl's world is turned upside down when his brother is accused of robbery. Carl sets out to clear his brother's name, but uncovers a secret underworld on his journey. He takes charge to help his brother, even if he must witness blackmail and murder to do so.

Opinion: 

This book was a thought-provoking novel. I learned a lot about the time period it was set in. However, the story seemed too short.There is very little actual action. Most of the novel just seems to describe the time period and the characters. It was still good, but could have used more of a plot and more action.
