Subway to California

About this book

In 1961, the Di Priscos fled Brooklyn, and the FBI. The father was a gambler and bookmaker, and agents chased him into the Long Island woods because he was implicated in police corruption. At thirty-five he escaped to a strange place called California, where his wife and two of her four sons joined him. One member of the family graduated high school, and he would come to make a book of a different sort.
