Notes
Description
It is 1906, and in New York City, the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand (La Mano Nera) is on a spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson. Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special "Black Hand squad," but the gangsters appear to be everywhere -- so much so that Bell begins to wonder if there are imitators, criminals using the name for the terror effect. And then the murders begin, each one of a man more powerful than the last, and as Bell discovers, to his dismay, the ultimate target may be the most powerful man of all.
Description
Organizing a group of fellow law enforcers to dismantle an Italian gangster mob that has spread throughout 1906 New York City, Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency begins to suspect that copycat criminals are using the gang's name to gain personal power.
