Dominic has become the possessor of a deadly secret, and as the brothers stoke up their feud, they are wary only of each other and have no sense of Mangan''s sinister schemes.

Tunnels is a story of friendship, adventure and young love. The adventure is fast-paced, exciting, and humorous. It sweeps the reader through back alleys, boiler rooms, busy streets, railroad yards, swamps and ruins and delivers an unpredictable climax. Every baby-boomer will want to read it cover to cover, but baby-boomer or not, this book is sure to strike a sympathetic nerve. Tunnels touches on powerful emotions that all of us have had in youth. Tommy Lake and Jimmy Murray had grown up together in post war Jersey City and had become close friends early in life. However, the experiences that they shared during the winter and spring of 1959, would be unequaled in intensity, and would serve to cement their relationship forever. Bored with the routines of normal adolescent existence, Tom and Jim began exploring the endless railroad system, which once occupied Jersey City and the surrounding Meadowlands. Their adventures became progressively more brazen and more dangerous, often threatening their lives. Apparently unconcerned, the young duo tempted fate regularly, while continuously seeking the ultimate adrenalin rush. Matters reach a new level of intrigue when Tom shares a secret with Jim in a ruined church in the Jersey swamplands, and two young girls become involved in their escapades. The love interest forces a stabilizing effect on the two friends and their activities, but the tranquility is short lived. Eventually, Tom clashes with a mysterious character called Hutchaneenee, and Jim decides that revenge is in order. The story then takes an unusual turn. Well written, filled with incredible adventures, graphic details and tough dialogue typical of young city kids, Tunnels willtransport the reader into their own past and generate emotional responses not felt since those turbulent adolescent years. Tunnels will be difficult to put down, especially for anyone who wants to re-ignite the spirit of adventure smoldering in their soul!
