Description: Newly repackaged and available for the first time in trade paperback, The Sunday Macaroni Club is a magnificently told story by a powerful author. Steve Lopez gives readers a vivid and rich portrait of local politics gone amok, and one woman's quest for happiness and fulfillment. Fleeing a disastrous love affair in Boston, Assistant District Attorney Lisa Sayitch -- beautiful, brilliant, brave -- relocates to Philadelphia, where she is partnered with ex-FBI agent Mike Muldoon. Lisa is assigned to get the goods on the Sunday Macaroni Club -- an old-time, South Philly political machine led by Augie Sangiamino, a former United States Senator, and his two cronies, state representative "Ham" Flaherty, who's running for Congress, and Judge "Izzy" Weiner. In the style of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, Lopez tells a story that is as funny as it is true to life.
