Publisher Summary

Born into a family of modest means and respectability, Danny Fisher was gradually driven downward into the world of crime, racketeering and poverty. His bitterness, his homesickness over the loss of the house in Brooklyn that was given to him for his eighth birthday, and his feud with his harsh father, pulled him one way; his natural decency and his love for a sweet Italian girl, Nellie Petito, pulled him another.

Danny was a boxer--a sensational amateur and potential champion--and he might have gone straight had the fight promoters not tried to exert pressure. Nevertheless, the driving force behind Danny's actions was always his sustaining love for Nellie. In a story that is realistic and yet compassionate, Harold Robbins reveals what makes the Danny Fishers what they are.

Review by M. from New Paltz, NY | 2/1/2011

This is an excellent story about a young, Depression-era Jewish boxer who must move, with his family from his comfortable home in Brooklyn to NYC's Lower East Side.Trying to survive in a world of violence and anti-semitism, he falls in with the loose women and seedy gangsters of NY's underworld.

I like Harold Robbins... He writes the best trash ever.

Review by Sallymariekennedy from The United States | 2/23/2010

A fast paced page turner with "Catcher in the Rye" undertones. Some may not like the ending but I liked every bit of it.
