Robert Odlum and Steve Brodie each leapt from the Brooklyn Bridge into the annals of history. Their individual passions for success in 19th century America drove both to the limits of personal risk. The hard-scrabble world of 1870's and 1880's professional athletics presented as much opportunity for achievement as it did for tragedy. Follow these true American daredevils as they pursue and meet destiny. From Washington, D.C. to the infamous Bowery of Manhattan, it is a story of courage, cunning, and achievement as these sons of Irish immigrants navigate their way through the sea of underworld professional athletic promotion and desperate times to carve out a future and a legacy for themselves. An historical novel based on a true characters and events.
