Jack Chase’s reader-acclaimed literary epic thrusts readers into the darker recesses of 2014 New York City. The novel offers a sprawling exploration of corruption, inheritance, and resilience in a deteriorating world, told through an overlapping ensemble that includes the son of a dead gangster, a single mother, an alcoholic FBI agent suffering from acute amnesia, a ruthless District Attorney, a corrupt NYPD officer, and an otherworldly nightlife entrepreneur who moonlights as a drug trafficker.
Billy Castle is twenty-five years old, commuting from Queens to Manhattan to serve drinks to uptowners, keep his alcoholic mother afloat, and outrun the reputation of a father whose name still echoes through certain corners of the city—whose ostensibly random murder in a liquor store by an unknown shooter when Billy was a child left behind nothing but a name that carries weight in all the places Billy has spent his whole life avoiding.
On his first week working at The Palace, one of Manhattan’s most exclusive nightclubs, Billy witnesses the execution of an Italian capo in the loading dock after being sent down to retrieve a crate of booze. Instead of silencing him on the spot, the club’s untouchable owner—who moonlights as the city’s most feared contrabandist—Archer Stone, gives him a moment to make his case. The air changes when he hears Billy’s last name, and from that moment on, Billy’s life begins to follow a path he swore he’d never take—and one he never expected to be so intoxicating.
Forced into the role of accomplice, the novel’s five-act structure follows Billy’s ascent through a world of ambition, loyalty, and violence, where power moves quietly and nothing stays buried. Meanwhile, federal agent Dean Willis is hunting Archer Stone, chasing fragments of a past he can’t fully remember—one that may tie all three men together in ways none of them can imagine, and potentially reveal the devastating truth behind his missing wife and daughter.
Touted by readers as “a triumph in crime fiction” and “impossible to put down,” Made in America delivers as a literary crime epic about inheritance, power, and the machinery of the American dream.
