Gangster Nation

**"Sal Cupertine is backand better than ever. I love this guy." Lee Child

"Gangster Nation is a razor. It will slice you open and reveal your insides. And like the best of Tod Goldberg's work, it'll show you everything you are at your core." Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The President's Shadow**

It's been two years since the events of Gangsterland, when legendary Chicago hitman Sal Cupertine disappeared into the guise of Vegas Rabbi David Cohen. It's September of 2001 and for David, everything is coming up gold: Temple membership is on the rise, the new private school is raking it in, and the mortuary and cemeterywhere Cohen has been laundering bodies for the mobis minting cash. But Sal wants out. He's got money stashed in safedeposit boxes all over the city. He's looking at places to escape to, Mexico or maybe Argentina. He only needs to make it through the High Holidays, and he'll have enough money to slip away, grab his wife and kid, and start fresh.

Across the country, former FBI agent Matthew Drew is now running security for an Indian Casino outside of Milwaukee, spending his offtime stalking members of The Family, looking for vengeance for the murder of his former partner. So when Sal's cousin stumbles into the casino one night, Matthew takes the law into his own handsagaintouching off a series of events that will have Rabbi Cohen running for his life, trapped in Las Vegas, with the law, society, and the post9/11 world closing in around him.

Gangster Nation is a thrilling followup to Gangsterland, an unexpected, pageturning examination of the seedy foundations of American life. With the wit and gritty glamor that defines his writing, Goldberg traces how the things we most value in our liveshome, health, even our spiritual liveshave been built on the enterprises of criminals.
