Italian American Foundation Book Review by Linda Binkley

“Cambridge Street is Mr. Decker’s first novel, and I really must compliment him on his outstanding character development. Not just the main characters but all the peripheral characters are multi-dimensional and unforgettable. It was an enjoyable read and the pages just flew by. Mr. Decker – you are an amazing author.”

Logline: A young Sicilian immigrant family struggles to survive violent mobsters and crooked cops in Chicago's Roaring Twenties.

Synopsis

Forced to leave Sicily, a young family immigrates to Chicago. They arrive on Christmas Day and quickly learn that they are not wanted or welcomed. It is the dawning of the Roaring 20s.

The sprawling, dirty city is not like anything they could have imagined or dreamed. The family moves into a fourth floor apartment in a run-down tenement building in the Little Sicily part of the city, known as Little Hell to the locals.

As husband Paolo labors at the slaughterhouse for little money, wife Gianna holds the family together through sheer grit and determination.

When an act of terrible violence is committed against their family by their own countrymen, Paolo swears revenge. The local mob boss cannot tolerate disrespect and orders Paolo to be murdered publicly as a warning to the neighborhood.

While killers wait outside their front door, Paolo and Gianna’s dreams and hopes for their future and for their children hang in the balance as they are forced decide on the course of action that will define them as people and determine their futures.

Plots and tensions simmer and boil over in a shocking conclusion early one morning on Cambridge Street.
