FROM THE PUBLISHER-The new novel about a kind of Jewish Popeye Doyle and his rampant daughter, by a ‘marvelous' (New York Times Book Review) author who ‘forces one deep into his inimitable world of tough-talking fuzz' (New York Times) that ‘makes the friends of Eddie Coyle look like choirboys' (Publishers Weekly). Isaac Sidel (known to his detractors as Isaac the Pure) was a cop-the toughest, hardest and most incorruptible in the business; and he ruled the meanest kingdom of the city-the Lower East Side. The only one he couldn't handle was Marilyn the Wild, his daughter and the only person he truly loved. Also, Rupert, the brilliant vindictive son of Isaac's oldest friend, who in an alliance with a kung-fu expert and a fiery teen-age ‘mama' formed the Lollipop Gang, dedicated to the violent end of Isaac's sway. When his gang was finally broken, Rupert then stalked Isaac's softest spot, Marilyn, in one of the best page-turning finales ever written. This high voltage novel pulls the reader into America's urban underbelly-wild, terrifying and wondrously tender in its fashion. Its people and their remarkable histories will not let you go. not even long after the very last page. inventory #31302.
