Book excerpt: DIVOn the eve of a White House run, Sidel cleans up a mess in his old backyard/divDIV/divDIVTired of being led by weaklings, the American people have fallen in love with J. Michael Storm and Isaac Sidel, the lawyer and the New York mayor who saved the country from the worst baseball strike in history. The Democratic National Convention is at Madison Square Garden, and when Storm is nominated for the presidency, he’s going to put the eccentric, gun-toting Sidel at the bottom of the ticket. But before Sidel can take his shot at the White House, he has a few loose ends to tie up./divDIV /divDIVHe’s most preoccupied with a father-and-son detective team suspected of running a murder-for-hire operation that went south, resulting in the father shooting his son.

Book excerpt: C'était l'enfant chéri des démocrates : Isaac Sidel, maire de New York et ex-commissaire principal, sur le point d'être choisi comme candidat de son parti à la vice-présidence. Il devait se présenter en tandem avec J. Michael Storm, le tsar du base-ball qui, à l'issue des primaires, l'avait emporté sur des sénateurs et des milliardaires... Le pays était tombé amoureux de ces deux-là... Mais il y a un problème : Michael Storm est infiniment moins populaire qu'Isaac et ce dernier va avoir pour tâche - rude tâche - de contribuer à donner une meilleure image de son colistier tout au long de la campagne. On ne dira pas comment il va s'y prendre, car on ne raconte pas un roman de Jerome Charyn. On entre dans un monde de crimes, de violence, de folie, mais en même temps de poésie et de tendresse. Autour d'Isaac Sidel, son personnage fétiche, héros de dix de ses romans, gravitent Anastasia, son grand amour, la lumineuse Marianna, douze ans, la fille de Michael, ainsi qu'Aliocha, douze ans aussi, génial peintre des rues, des voyous, des politiciens véreux, des gardes du corps dont il vaut mieux se méfier... On se laisse entraîner au rythme très jazzy de son écriture, tout en ayant bien envie de lui poser la question : jusqu'où ira Isaac Sidel ? Sur la plus haute marche ?

The South Bronx, a wasteland of drugs, murder, and urban blight, is kept from sliding into utter chaos by Yankee Stadium’s steady stream of tourists. Every week that the strike continues and the fans stay away, the Bronx slips closer to the edge./divDIV /divDIVAs the crime rate spikes, a lone bright spot remains. Alyosha, a mysterious twelve-year-old graffiti artist, paints dramatic murals to commemorate the dead. When Alyosha befriends the daughter of the lawyer representing the player’s union, Sidel sees a possible solution to the Bronx’s woes. But there is too much money in baseball for the strike to be settled peacefully. Before the season starts, more blood will stain the sidewalks of El Bronx./div

Although his position as the commissioner’s first deputy is largely political, Sidel has not forgotten how to work the New York City streets. To protect the East Side he has survived gunfights, broken arms, and once tore out a hoodlum’s eyes. In his spare time he does favors for old friends, finding runaway daughters and protecting merchants from roving street gangs.

Any time a fellow pusher gives him trouble, Joey’s detective badge and police-issue Glock have a way of making the problem disappear. He’s also protected by his mentor, NYPD Commissioner Isaac Sidel, but there’s nothing even Sidel can do when Barbarossa makes the mistake of rubbing out a dealer with ties to the Justice Department. For compensation, Justice demands Barbarossa start spying on Sidel, who’s just made him his personal chauffer. The drug-dealing detective can’t say no./divDIV /divDIVSidel is preparing for a run at the mayor’s office, but before his campaign kicks off he has to deal with two mob bosses who want him dead. He and Barbarossa don ski masks and start holding up mafia establishments, but as the pressure rises and the friendship frays, the only question is which cop will turn on the other first./div

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of madness in the Bronx, Isaac Sidel visits the craziest state in the country Isaac Sidel is too popular to be America’s vice president. Once the New York Police Department commissioner, he became the most beloved mayor in the city’s history—famous for his refusal to surrender his Glock, and for his habit of disappearing for months at a time to fight crime at street level. So when baseball czar J. Michael Storm asks Sidel to join him on the election’s Democratic ticket, the two wild men romp to an unprecedented landslide. But as the president-elect’s mandate goes off the rails—threatened by corruption, sex, and God knows what else—he tires of being overshadowed by Sidel, and dispatches him to a place from which tough politicians seldom return: Texas. In the Lone Star state, Sidel confronts rogue astrologers, accusations of pedophilia, and a dimwitted assassin who doesn’t know when to take an easy shot. If this Bronx bomber doesn’t watch his step, he risks making vice-presidential history by getting killed on the job.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his father dies, a young bumper inherits the bloody family business Holden is more than a bill collector. He’s a killer. His father came to New York from Belgium to spend his life driving cars for the Aladdin Fur Company. But Holden has more ambition than his old man, and rises to the rank of bumper—a violent collector of debts that cannot be paid. But when his father dies, Holden departs for Europe, to live in seclusion until his money runs out. And it’s then that his father’s real business comes to call. The old man was a bumper too, but he killed for a slightly higher class of criminal. And now that he’s gone, his employers want his son to take his place. Holden would like to to refuse, but murder is in his blood, and no man can resist his family legacy.
