About this listen

From International Bestseller Andrew Gross, The Last Brother is the thrilling historical novel about three brothers and the Mafia in 1930s New York. Published in the USA as Button Man.

United by blood

As the death of their father thrusts them into early adulthood, three brothers–Morris, Sol, and Harry Rabishevsky–find themselves navigating survival in the harsh reality of the Lower East Side, each taking on a path that could either unite them or break their familial bonds forever.

Divided by ambition

Twelve-year-old Morris Rabishevsky apprentices himself to a garment manufacturer with the dream of one day running the business. Sol, six years older, heads to accounting school but is forced to drop out. Scarred by a family tragedy, Harry falls under the spell of the charismatic Louis Buchalter and his underworld operations.

Torn apart by conflict

Morris convinces Sol to go into business with him, but Harry can’t be lured away from the glamour, power and money of the mob. As their business grows, Buchalter sets his sights on the unions that control the garment maker’s factories, setting up a fatal showdown that could bring them together or shatter their family forever.

Critic reviews

A compelling, fast paced historical thriller that paints a rich portrait of the rise of organized crime in 1930's America. Fans of Boardwalk Empire and Dennis Lehane will love it (Kristin Hannah)
A highly satisfying story of family loyalty, persistence, courage, and crime
A riveting piece of historical fiction, mixed with family saga, exposing the Jewish mob of the 1930s who preyed on the garment industry and the brave few who stood up against them. This book is a heart-stopper. I loved, LOVED it! (Linda Fairstein)
Andrew Gross is in top form with this beautifully haunting novel that mixes history seamlessly with fiction . . . An epic journey of struggle, hope, death and life. Riveting to the very last page (NY Journal of Books)
These are characters you won’t forget . . . Alternately frightful and fascinating, the story viscerally describes the era, exposing the motives and fears that drive each character and play out on the streets (Booklist (starred review))
Gross knows how to deliver a thrill
An overwhelming, immersive, suspenseful success (Lee Child on The One Man)
Gripping, chilling and charged with emotion (Peter James)
A total, white-knuckle, stay-up-all-night thrill ride (Harlan Coben)
Gross makes history come alive . . . A terrific read (Nelson DeMille)
The strength of this suspenseful novel lies in its dark humor and characterizations of the brothers . . . The sometimes gritty, sometimes swanky settings bring a tumultuous time and place to brimming life
