About this audiobook
Walk the rough streets of Chicago with Billy Byrne, a semi-illiterate thug whose life is defined by violence and hatred. After being shanghaied and shipwrecked, he finds himself in a situation where his brute strength is an asset, but his lack of honor is a liability. Through the influence of a refined woman and the trials of survival, he begins a slow, painful path toward redemption. This gritty adventure deconstructs the anti-hero, showing that nobility can be found in the unlikeliest of places.
