Notes
It is 1906, and in New York City the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand is on a menacing spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson. Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special 'Black Hand Squad', but the gansters appear to be everywhere. So much so that Bell begins to wonder if there are imitator mobs emerging - other criminals using the Black Hand name to further terrorise the city. Then the murders begn, each one of a man more powerful than the last. Bell knows that copycat or not he's facing a lethal organisation, and to his dismay their ultimate target may be the most powerful man of all. (From publisher)
