The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye

" Copper Stars "
NYC 1854
This historical fiction highlights the beginning of the New York City police department despite the resentment of the public. The novel also reveals the tension from the unions, the Irish immigrants, Catholics versus protestants, politics, and bribes. The daily life in the slums of New York City is harsh, but caring people overcome the reality.
This book exemplifies the "mean streets of New York City. "
A great read !!!!!!
