The Story

Isaac would be king. But the Pink Commish still has a month to go before he moves into the Mayor's mansion. Dressed in rags, he stays at the Seventh Avenue Armory under the alias of Geronimo Jones.

A racist gang called the Knickerbocker Boys claims responsibility, and Isaac traces the macabre murder spree from the Ali Baba sex palace in Times Square, to an effete architectural landmark preservationist, to the old Negro Baseball Leagues, all the way back to Little Angel Street in Odessa where Isaac's beloved Margaret Tolstoy once lived with a Romanian prince.
