T. J. English writes narrative true crime and social history about organised crime, policing, race and urban power. Havana Nocturne examines American gangsters, casinos and political change in pre-revolutionary Cuba, while Paddy Whacked traces the history of Irish American organised crime. The Corporation focuses on Cuban American crime networks, and The Savage City reconstructs New York in the 1960s through murder, policing and racial conflict. English's prose is fast, heavily researched and built around large casts rather than a single detective or offender. Useful discovery categories include organised-crime history, urban true crime and twentieth-century American social history. Havana Nocturne is the strongest starting point for readers who want crime, politics and place working together within one tightly defined historical setting. Read more Less
