Jim Fusilli
im Fusilli is the author of ten novels including THE PRICE YOU PAY, THE MAYOR OF POLK STREET and its predecessor NARROWS GATE, which George Pelecanos called “equal parts Ellroy, Puzo and Scorsese” and Mystery Scene magazine said “must be ranked among the half-dozen most memorable novels about the Mob.” The Narrows Gate setting is based loosely on Hoboken, New Jersey, where Jim was born.
