The town of
Gastonia, North Carolina has a nickname, "Little Chicago," that
comes from a shared history of crime and violence as well as an
identical per capita murder rate. The writer turns his fascination
with the town and its colorful history into a compelling, present
day saga full of off-beat, quirky characters. Set against a gritty
backdrop of violence, action and drama Little Chicago is a
sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking tale that keeps you
fully engaged as the characters struggle to find their place in, or
away from, the town known as "Little Chicago."
