Good Gangsters: A Reading  

In his novel Gangster Nation, the sequel to Gangsterland, Tod Goldberg traces how the things we most value in our lives―home, health, even our spiritual lives―have been built on the enterprises of criminals. Nelson George’s To Funk and Die in LA, the fourth book in the D Hunter crime-fiction series, brings the ex-bodyguard to the City of Angels on a very dark mission when his grandfather, businessman Daniel “Big Danny” Hunter, is shot dead in a drive-by.
