Inspired by a real-life mid-twentieth-century mayor, The Big Crowd charts Charlie O’Kane’s trajectory from immigrant Brooklyn beat cop to mayor of New York—the American dream come to life. His younger brother, Tom, has always looked up to him, part father figure, part larger-than-life companion on life’s adventures. But when Charlie’s star dramatically falls, Tom, a young, idealistic assistant DA, must try to clear his brother’s name while hiding a secret of his own.

Charlie is dogged by accusations of mob connections and corruption, hinging on the mysterious death of a police informant and star witness from his days as a crusading Brooklyn prosecutor. In the course of his investigations, Tom uncovers the secret workings of the great city he loves, and now he sees it, and Charlie, in an entirely different light.

From the Brooklyn waterfront to Gracie Mansion, from the battlefields of World War II to the beaches of Acapulco, The Big Crowd is a brilliantly imagined, distinctly American story.
