When the Bronx Burned: New York's Best Kept SecretIn the South Bronx during the 1960s and 70s, unscrupulous landlords and their torch men set in motion a murderous wave of arson for profit, driving hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and injuring, maiming, and killing thousands more including firefighters. Yet New York's mayor consistently refuses to give the fire department the manpower it needs to investigate the arson, and thousands of suspicious fires go uninvestigated. Jackie
In the South Bronx during the 1960s and 70s, unscrupulous landlords and their torch-men set in motion a murderous wave of arson-for-profit, driving hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and injuring, maiming, and killing thousands more-including firefighters. Yet New York's mayor consistently refuses to give the fire department the manpower it needs to investigate the arson, and thousands of suspicious fires go uninvestigated.
Jackie Mulligan and his brother firefighters stand up to the heartless evil of the slumlords by demanding that the mayor take action. But when the mayor refuses, Mulligan and his men take a stand against the arsonists, putting their jobs-and their lives-on the line.
For Mulligan, the fight has become personal. And there will be only one winner.
."John Finucane has written a riveting and fast moving novel.Not only does he nail the drama in a way only an experienced firefighter can, he literally puts the reader inside the fire scene.Reading John Finucane's comprehensive description brought back memories of my admiration for firefighters everywhere."
-Charles J. Hynes
Kings County District Attorney
Former Fire Commissioner of NYC
Author of first novel, "Triple Homicide"
"For twenty years John Finucane breathed the acrid smoke, hauled the heavy hoses, and climbed the telescoping ladders for New York City's heroic fire department. He now writes about it from the gut-with verve, power, and poignancy. This is a fireman's fireman, pulling no punches and telling the story of a firefighter in New York's grittiest neighborhoods during the turbulent 1960s and 70s."
