No Customer Reviews
When Bob Capek's mother is killed in a hit-and-run accident in 1956, his father moves the family from Virginia back to his hometown of Mauch Chunk, a small town in the middle of the eastern Pennsylvania anthracite coal region. From the moment Bob boards the northbound train, the life he knew before comes to an end--and another, more harrowing one begins. Soon after arriving in Mauch Chunk, Bob is threatened by a notorious cross-town gang, the Center Street Scorpions. As if that's not enough, Bob also initiates a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the cruelest, most diabolical man in town, the Cyclops--a greedy mine owner who will stop at nothing, including murder, to own every coal mine in the county. But Bob is determined to put a stop to the Cyclops's sinister schemes--and the results are explosive. From the author of Jim Thorpe Never Slept Here and Leap of Faith , The South Street Gang vs. the Coalcracker Cyclops is an exciting tale that brings the powers of good and evil to the streets of small-town America.
