Set in Chicago in a climate of rampant capitalism, it tells the story of a savage battle waged between two men, whose relationship is at once homosexual and sadomasochistic. Brecht created it out of popular "gangster" novels. The action, takes one from a lending library in Chicago to a deserted railroad worker's tent in the gravel pits by Lake Michigan, "the everlasting roar of Chicago has faded away," says Schlink just before the showdown and his final demise!!
