It's September of 2001 and for David, everything is coming up gold: Temple membership is on the rise, the new private school is raking it in, and the mortuary and cemetery--where Cohen has been laundering bodies for the mob--is minting cash. But Sal wants out. He's got money stashed in safe-deposit boxes all over the city. He's looking at places to escape to, Mexico or maybe Argentina. He only needs to make it through the High Holidays, and he'll have enough money to slip away, grab his wife and kid, and start fresh. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcross the country, former FBI agent Matthew Drew is now running security for an Indian Casino outside of Milwaukee, spending his off-time stalking members of The Family, looking for vengeance for the murder of his former partner. So when Sal's cousin stumbles into the casino one night, Matthew takes the law into his own hands--again--touching off a series of events that will have Rabbi Cohen running for his life, trapped in Las Vegas, with the law, society, and the post-9\/11 world closing in around him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGangster Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling follow-up to \u003ci\u003eGangsterland\u003c\/i\u003e, an unexpected, page-turning examination of the seedy foundations of American life.
