The Iron Will of Shoeshine Cats

This fast-paced, laugh-out-loud look at 1960s New York, the mob, and growing up fast comes with a brilliant quote from Stephen King who chose it as his recommended read for World Book Night: 'Think The Godfather on laughing gas, or Catch-22 with guns'

Mulholland Books presents. THE IRON WILL OF SHOESHINE CATS

It's New York, 1963, and college student Russell Newhouse has just made the acquaintance of notorious Jewish gangster Shoeshine Cats.

Cats wants a tiny favour. And - for his own reasons - he also wants to educate Russell in the world of crime, cops and the gritty reality of life on the edge.

Russell knows a lot about books, a bit about girls, and nothing at all about the mob.

That's about to change.
