Publisher's summary

Mafia hit-man-turned-rabbi Sal Cupertine is ready to get out of the life. But it's not going to be easy. His once-brilliant plan to pass himself off as Rabbi David Cohen is unraveling. Enemies on both sides of the law are hot on his trail. His wife and son are unreachable in witness protection and are probably in danger. In order to find his family, get out of the desert alive, and salvage his long-sought-after happy ending, Sal is going to have to confront some very bad people from his past.

Native American kingpin Peaches Pocotillo has wrested control of Chicago's mob family while expanding his criminal empire in the west, and now seeks to settle an old score with Sal. These two antiheroes have a history that stretches back decades, and the blood feud between Peaches and Sal will lead them to a violent showdown deep in the heart of the low desert.

As complications cast old revelations in a new light, including one that stretches back to the long-ago death of Sal's infamous gangster father Dark Billy Cupertine, Sal must team up with some unlikely allies—and confront the reality of who he has become—in this stunning conclusion to the popular and critically acclaimed Gangsterland trilogy.

Schmear some more on us Tod

I read about 150 books a year, and this is one of the best series I’ve ever read. More importantly, Todd Goldberg is a phenomenal writer. He has quickly escalated to the top tier of my favorite authors of all time. I don’t really want to describe the series mostly because I’m not talented enough as a writer to really encapsulate the true essence of its nature. I will say, I hope this series gets picked up by *specifically* HBO as a long-running TV adaptation. I wholeheartedly believe it would rank up there with the likes of Breaking Bad and The Sopranos as far as most viewership of all time.
…Because we all love to love the bad guys every now and then

Please write more books Tod Goldberg.

the entire series flowed consistently and in character, never disappointing.

Sal Cupertine/Rabbi Cohen for all his gangster ways was a character you rooted for to make it. The narrator for this series was excellent!

Incredibly Creative

Very unique story with a complex cast of characters, but i never got lost. Satisfying end, no threads left forgotten or too loose

Thoughtful ending to a fun trilogy

I don’t recall how I stumbled across the first book in the series, but I immediately became captivated. Number two was a lot of fun and “gangsters don’t die was a great capstone to the series. If you enjoyed the first two, give this one, a try.
