American Author

Jim Fusilli

Jim Fusilli is an American writer. He is the author of eight novels including “Narrows Gate,” an epic set in the years surrounding World War II in a gritty Italian-American community in the shadow of New York City. Its principal characters include an Italian-American crooner, a collection of gangsters, military men and intelligence operatives, assorted Hollywood types and two young friends who must choose which path to take to escape the dangerous environment. Narrows Gate is based loosely on Hoboken, New Jersey, where Jim was born. Mystery Scene magazine said “’Narrows Gate’ must be ranked among the half-dozen most memorable novels about the Mob.”
