Mercy Row is a novel set in 1920s and '30s Philadelphia. It's the report of the climb of an North Philadelphia crime family that was also responsible for building the homes and factories that make up this blue-collar area of the city. Regardless of the violent tests and tribulations triggered by rival gangs from South Philadelphia and Chicago, Jacob Byrne and Franklin Garrett, with the help of the Irish immigrants who settled the Kensington area, create a formidable Irish mob. This legal and criminal enterprise placed North Philadelphia clear of the mafia for two decades. Jacob's and Franklin's organization was built on the blood of those who opposed them, the sweat of the laborers who built North Philly and the tears of the wives and mothers whose loved ones were lost in the struggle.
