About the book: 1994 / It would seem that what the talented young lawyer Agee has in common with a rude, irritable and not very educated former military sailor, and now a bar owner? And yet... The novel by an American writer tells about their mutual sympathy, which grows stronger in the struggle for the protagonist’s younger brother, who got involved with a gang of bandits, about the complex relationships between representatives of different social and national strata of the multimillion-dollar Chicago, about kindness, courage and mutual understanding. But above all - about love.
