“With the cinematic speed of a finely tuned screenplay, CROSSING THE BRONX—David Hirshberg’s final novel of his Mid-Century Trilogy—is an elegantly crafted thriller that captures the time, place, and ambience of the city like few others. Hirshberg again demonstrates that he has simply the most perfect, eclectic, and encyclopedic voice to write about not only the tragedies and romances of the city but also the crime and corruption of that era that led to the creation of a modern New York. The consequences of those struggles mirror the fault lines of our own conflicted era. This is a rare gift, and no one writes better with such quintessential gravity and beauty. A perfect must-read.”

—Howard Jay Smith, author of Viva Violetta & Verdi and Meeting Mozart
