The rackets

Description:

"Jimmy Dolan, who put himself through college by working construction, has gotten a job as the advance man for New York's mayor, a smug Republican. But when Jimmy scuffles with Teamsters boss Frankie Keefe at a Gracie Mansion power breakfast, he is fired and thrown back into the knockabout working-class world he thought he had left behind."--Jacket.
