It's not the American dream. It's an American nightmare. Richie Flynn, the poor Irish kid from Manhattan, had one brief moment of glory as a pro football star, and the memory is growing thin at the edges. Now, after a decade of near-obscurity, he dreams of scoring again in a business deal. The deal is a little shady, but not unusually so, certainly nothing your normal American success story can't accommodate. Suddenly, however, Flynn falls into the clutches of a monstrous loan shark, the horrendous King Kong Karpstein. And that's just the beginning, for Karpstein has his own drama - and so do Flynn's long-suffering wife, Agnes; Diane, the topless dancer; Fowler, the city bureaucrat. Most important of all, there are that ambitious federal prosecutor, Hamilton Wainwright IV, and Frank Donato, the country's most powerful Mafia boss. Richie Flynn will be the pawn in this battle of the giants. As he discovers all too bitterly, he is out of his league. Made in America is a fierce, brilliant novel about the corruption of the human spirit
