El policía Danny Coughin es enviado a inspeccionar un buque de guerra con unos cuantos soldados enfermos de vuelta de la Gran Guerra y aquejados de una rara enfermedad: una gripe de consecuencias insospechadas que dejará miles de cadáveres en el North End, el barrio italiano en que Danny, hijo del capitán de la Policía de Boston, espera su placa de oro y su nombramiento como el inspector más joven de la comisaría. Pero después de 1919 el North End ya no será el mismo, Boston y Danny tampoco."

  • "An epic tale set at the end of World War I follows the experiences of a family whose lives mirror the political unrest of an America caught between its well-patterned past and an unpredictable future. Police officer Danny Coughlin, the latest in a long line of cops, is a fresh face on the force and anxious to impress his father. Thus, he agrees to go undercover to infiltrate a group of anarchists involved in labor strikes. As Danny penetrates this underground world, however, he befriends people such as a beautiful Irish immigrant and a black servant-turned-criminal who force him to re-evaluate his beliefs. Incorporating real historic events, such as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and the 1919 Boston police strike, the author "captures the sense of a country coming of age.""
