No names. No badges. No mercy.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago.

John O’Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
