Enter the rugged streets of Brooklyn with BROOKLYN TOUGH & CATS AND DRUNKS. Fusing humor, ingenious criminality, loyalty and betrayal, Freundlich takes us back to the glory days of The Brooklyn Dodgers and the murderous days of the Gambino crime family. Our stories are told by Jewish and Italian brothers-in-law for whom love of family and friends trumps even the Mafia code of silence: the omerta. How much can you know about the Mafia and still be human? Let Asher Goldfine and Johnny Catalfo tell you. It will bring tears of laughter and not a little dread.

With the wit of Woody Allen and a storyline as enthralling as The Sopranos or Goodfellas, BROOLYN TOUGH & CATS AND DRUNKS showcase laugh-out-loud moments, with real life Mafia schemes. For millions of people Brooklyn has always had a certain magic. BROOKLYN TOUGH captures it.

Whether you have walked the streets of Brooklyn, rooted for the Brooklyn Dodgers, or simply love an account of crime and love, this will be a read to leave you inspired, entertained, and wanting more.
