Secret Isaac

Jerome Charyn: Secret Isaac (USA 2012)

From the Publisher:
Disguised as a bum and living in a flophouse, Sidel tries to save a streetwalker
The ragged old man has a tapeworm in his gut and a room at a nameless Whore's Row hotel, but to those in the know, he is one of the most powerful people in New York. Once the first deputy of the police commissioner, Isaac Sidel has lived in impoverished exile ever since the death of his detective protégé, Manfred Coen. As he wanders the streets around Times Square, Sidel spies a prostitute with a fearsome scar: a letter D seared into her cheek. His pity stirred, he asks her name and buys her a meal. Afterwards, he sets out to destroy the man who branded her.

Sidel's target is a pimp with a love for James Joyce and a hand in the pocket of the police commissioner. Taking him down will mean upending the force that Sidel once served, but if the tapeworm doesn't stop him, no crook can.

The final book in the classic Isaac Quartet
Isaac Sidel, the ex-First Deputy of New York City, is at his lowest ebb. A wounded romantic, he now lives a lonely existence at a grimy hotel, lamenting the death of Blue Eyes Coen, his most favoured cop, and the waywardness of his daughter, Marilyn. Yet Isaac falls in love with Annie, a beguiling Irish prostitute with a dark secret. Secret Isaac trails our forlorn hero from New York's political halls to the depths of Dublin's Joycean underworld as he pursues a terrible and exacting revenge.

Secret Isaac

Jerome Charyn: Secret Isaac (USA 1980)

From the Publisher:
COP ART
New York is the ultimate playground for cops, criminals, and the creative imagination. In his three critically acclaimed novels, BLUE EYES, MARILYN THE WILD, and THE EDUCATION OF PATRICK SILVER, Jerome Charyn has conjured a New York that is an alternate universe, inhabited by a constellation of punks, pols, thugs, nymphs, vice lords, and bagmen. In SECRET ISAAC, his mythic hero-cop Isaac Sidel is undercover in Times Square when he falls for "a bimbo with damaged goods," a beautiful hooker whose pimp has branded her cheek with a scarlet 'D'. In a relentless manhunt from New York's lower depths to Dublin's Joycean underworld, Isaac is out to find the man who disfigured her -- as well as the power pimps who are ravishing his city -- and launch them into eternity.

"Utterly convincing... astonishing... bold," wrote Herbert Gold in the Los Angeles Times, "SECRET ISAAC and Charyn's rapidly accruing body of fiction do the essential work of magic-making with an absolutely singular and piercing voice."

Jerome Charyn: Secret Isaac. An epic tale of crime and passion on the urban frontier. New York: Avon Books, 1980, ISBN: 0380471264, 237 p., $2.75.
