Brooklynese is the Boss of Bosses From the mean streets of New York City's prime mafia boro, comes a chase after savvy and streetwise bank robbers and jewel thieves that crosses international boundaries and time zones with the speed of a jet plane. Alexander weaves everything together with the skill of a true master of the action thriller category in an unforgettable extravaganza of capers, mayhem, hot gems, hot dames, and accomplished criminals who will stop at nothing to gain possession of a treasure whose value is almost beyond calculation. When a billion dollar diamond deal cut by one of New York's heaviest crime families goes sour, and the consignment of rare gems is lost overseas, a crew of wise guys straight out of Brooklyn is ordered to get it back -- any way they can. This is an international caper novel to end all caper novels, a nonstop page-turner jam-packed with action from start to finish and one of Alexander's boldest books ever. As crime thrillers go, Brooklynese is the boss of bosses. "Brooklynese is an accomplishment by an author whose narrative skills are clearly at their peak and can sustain an ambitious plot, like the daring young man on the trapeze who flies through the air with the greatest of ease." -- Desert Sun "If every crook could pull off a caper with the ease and skill Alexander ably demonstrates in Brooklynese, we'd all be broke." -- Globe Literary Supplement "As a cops and robbers caper novel that positively drips with murder, mayhem, bad guys and bullets, this international crime thriller has all the right moves. I'll even say that rarely before have crooks, bank robbers and other kinds of criminals been portrayed in such a way that I as a reader wanted to get into the gang before I was even halfway through the story. That's what I call some seriously spellbinding storytelling. While the story begins and ends in Brooklyn, which gives the book its title, Brooklynese is actually a top-notch international thriller with a heavy-duty plot that weaves together global organized crime, high-level espionage and international intrigue with all the frills of a first-class spy thriller. The book is written with just that right touch that maintains its edge and stops short of making caricatures out of its characters. This is considerably harder to accomplish than making the characters seem like violent goofballs, the way they're all too often portrayed, because it requires considerably more writing skill. I would assume it also takes more than just a casual familiarity with the ways of the characters about which the story is based. These characters aren't only Brooklyn "wise guys." They're also criminals that move in the high-class circles of European crime empires and the covert intelligence agents that they have connections with. The story also shows a considerable knowledge of the international diamond business that moves from South African diamond mines, to smuggling rings that operate across national borders, then to the gemstone trading houses in Antwerp, Paris and New York." -- Vince Flynn

A kid of Italian immigrants grows up in South Brooklyn and Flatbush during the 20s, 30s, and 40s, playing Johnny-on-the-Pony, Ringalevio and Spin-the-Bottle. Life was simpler then, before the breakup of Ma Bell, the corporate takeovers, and junk mail. His generation was deeply affected by the Great depression; the Big Band music of Goodman, Dorsey, Ellington; movies of Cowboy and Indians, Fred and Ginger; Mickey and Judy; the New York Worlds Fair; and Pearl Harbor, which forced them to leave home and go to war in places they could hardly find on a map. REVIEW What great fun! Ive never been to Brooklyn, and I feel I know the old place - and love it. Although those simple, innocent, carefree, halcyon pre-war days of 50, 60, 70 years ago are long gone, they surely come alive in this charming, laugh-out-loud poignant memoir of Brooklyn. DGuido writes as if hes talking to his reader over a beer, making the story both appealing and very accessible - a la Neil Simon, in tone and the story itself. Thanks to the author for recapturing a kinder, sweeter, gentler time with such wonderful recall. Id love to send this book to several former Brooklyn-ite friends. I cant imagine anyyone from that era or place whod not enjoy this breezy, good read.
