With the mob snapping at his heels, he has no choice but to run for it. With his wife and baby, he heads to Australia’s Gold Coast, where he gets a lucky break, and help to start his own building business. Within a few years, young Luke is a millionaire but the lawless and violent Builders Laborers and Mining Union (BLMU) wants its cut, and there’s nothing it won’t do to get it.
Complaining to politicians and the police doesn’t help because the BLMU’s paying them off. Desperate, Luke returns to Chicago and recruits his best friend and hitman, Joe “Ratsy†Ratsch, to level the playing field.
When the BLMU appoints a powerful new leader with murder on his agenda, the stakes are ratcheted up.
Will Luke live to enjoy his hard-earned success?
