    Moose und die Verbrecher stehen kurz davor, sich näherzukommen in dieser mit Spannung erwarteten Fortsetzung. Es ist 1935. Moose Flanagan lebt mit seiner Familie auf Alcatraz, zusammen mit den anderen Familien der Wachen und ein paar Hundert namenlosen Auftragsmördern, Betrügern, wahnsinnigen Mördern und einer Handvoll Bankräubern. Und einer dieser Verbrecher hat ihm gerade einen großen Gefallen getan. Moose hat Al Capone nie getroffen, aber vor ein paar Wochen schrieb er ihm einen Brief, in dem er ihn bat, seinen Einfluss zu nutzen, um seine Schwester Natalie in eine Schule zu bringen, die sie dringend in San Francisco benötigt. Nachdem Natalie angenommen wurde, erschien eine Notiz in Mooses frisch gewaschenem Hemd, die besagte: Erledigt. Als dieses Buch beginnt, entdeckt Moose eine neue Notiz. Diese sagt: Du bist dran. Ist sie wirklich von Capone? Was bedeutet das? Moose kann nichts riskieren, was dazu führen könnte, dass sein Vater gefeuert wird. Aber wie kann er Al Capone ignorieren?
