Hell's Kitchen, New York City. In the mid-1970s, one neighborhood gang raised mayhem to the level of sheer blood sport with a specialty in execution by dismemberment. The Westies, an Irish-American gang led by Jimmy Coonan, terrorized the West Side of Manhattan for 20 years--until Coonan's second in command, Mickey Featherstone, turned state's star witness in one of New York's biggest racketeering trials. Author T.J. English weaves together the story of their deadly alliance and gangland terror. TV PG
