In a shocking New York underworld populated by a constellation of punks, low lifes, thugs, nymphs, vice lords and bag men, Patrick Silver is an eccentric giant. An ex-cop, he once served under the now disgraced First Deputy Isaac Sidel. But now his life has taken a peculiar turn. He's been hired as a bodyguard to Jeronimo Guzmann, the most fiendish of a family of Peruvian pimps who have been plaguing Isaac Sidel. Isaac's out for revenge, and he's sure that Patrick can help him find the 'lipstick freak', a perverted murderer who has been stalking the New York skyline, painting the faces of little boys before he kills them. But when Patrick becomes distracted by the irresistible Odile Guzmann, helping out Isaac is the last thing on his mind.

Seller's Description:
Fine. Book 1st printing with complete number line beginning with 1. Paper beginning to age tone else about fine copy paperback. When his best friend is killed, Isaac Sidel looks for revenge in the BronxThough incorruptible—at least by New York Police Department standards—Detective Isaac Sidel knows that sometimes it's useful to look a little dirty. To gain access to the Bronx-based Guzmann crime syndicate, rumored to be building a human trafficking operation in Spanish Harlem, Sidel had himself kicked off the force on a corruption charge. With the help of Manfred Coen, a young cop whom Sidel once mentored, he posed as a desperate, dirty cop in hopes of infiltrating the Guzmann family. The gamble got Coen killed, and left Sidel with nothing but guilt, bruises, and a tapeworm. Now the detective craves revenge. To break down the syndicate, he targets Patrick Silver, the Guinness-addicted handler of forty-four-year-old man-child Jerónimo Guzmann. When a crush on Odile, porn queen of the Bronx, confuses Patrick's loyalty, the family begins to tear itself apart. It's up to Isaac Sidel to make sure they don't take the city with them.
