Unstoppables

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLERINDEPENDENT PRESS BESTSELLER Richard Kline’s world is turning upside-down.Soon after Ivy League–educated physician Dr. Kline returns to his hometown of Bay Ridge to take over his father’s medical practice, his dreams of a steady, conventional life begin to crumble. His wife leaves him; health insurance vultures have descended on his practice; a mysterious Russian woman becomes his new bookkeeper; and a patient holds him at gunpoint in his own waiting room. Kline seeks help from two long-lost childhood friends: Sal Bondini, the son of a notorious mob boss, and Sean O’Toole, a police officer at the local precinct. As boys, the three friends were constantly up to their necks in trouble. As adults, they now may be in over their heads. Set in the colorful, old-world community of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in the 1970s and early 2000s, The Unstoppables is a story about doctors and patients, seduction and violence, fathers and sons. Above all, it explores the joys and complications of renewing childhood bonds and is a moving testament to the friendships that endure.
