Murder Incorporated #9

Edward Coke and Luke Giles, two hardened criminals serving time at Calton State Prison in Nebraska, swap war stories of failed heists and decide their best shot at freedom is to break out together. As they plot their escape, the two partners discover that their criminal luck—which has failed them repeatedly on the outside—may be running just as thin behind bars. A taut crime tale of desperation, ambition, and the law's long reach.

In the turbulent 1850s, Bill Poole—a towering gang enforcer known as "Bill the Butcher"—rises from the Bowery Boys to become the muscle behind Boss Rynders' Americus Club, clashing with rival gangsters and the Tammany organization that seeks to dominate the city's brutal street politics. When the fearless fighter Morrissey challenges Bill's authority and the stakes escalate to ballot-box stuffing and election-day violence, Bill must prove his reputation as the toughest battler on the West Side. This hard-hitting crime saga captures the raw, no-holds-barred gang warfare that defined New York's political underworld.
