Battle for the Canal

The third and final book in a series involving two life long friends from Van Bakel Beach, Brooklyn. Mickey and Eddie are finally on a winning streak. They got the girls, the high paying scam, and are now well respected beyond the confines of their neighborhood, Van Bakel Beach. Eddie's girlfriend, Brittany, is disgusted with the worsening conditions in the Beach, and convinces Eddie to run for their district's state senate seat against the beloved incumbent, Michael Gallagher. Her marketing schemes bring Eddie and Mickey to perform at a drag show, the Freak Show in Coney Island, a cameo in a daytime soap and even play the part of an emcee at a dog costume contest in order to win the attention and votes of hard-headed Brooklynites. Meanwhile something sinister is lurking in seedy corners of Brooklyn. Dismembered bodies of members and affiliates of the motorcycle gang, God's Only Demon's are showing up in different waterways of Brooklyn while their limbs are anonymously mailed to suspected mob fronts. The motorcycle gang becomes pitted against the mob in this dark and gruesome whirlwind story of Eddie Gillespie's attempt to win an election.
