About this book
Set in the crowded tenements and criminal fringes of New York, Leroy Scott's novel follows Larry Brainard, a young con man trying to go straight, and Maggie Carlisle, the girl raised inside the same underworld he wants to leave behind. Pulling free of old associates proves harder than either expects, and the story turns on loyalty, reinvention, and whether a person shaped by the streets can ever fully escape them. Scott, a reformer as much as a storyteller, renders the milieu with firsthand sympathy rather than sensational disgust. The result is a melodrama with a social conscience, popular in its day and later adapted for the silent screen. Now available as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
