A secret tryst threatens to turn two cops against each otherIsaac Sidel is a bear of a cop. Although his position as the commissionerâs 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 hoodlumâs eyes. In his spare time he does favors for old friends, finding runaway daughters and protecting merchants from roving street gangs. On the street there is no problem he canât solve, but at home he is powerless. His daughter Marilyn, twenty-five and twice divorced, keeps Sidel up at night. Just before her father goes to Paris for a lecture on police work, Marilyn runs away from her newest husband and shacks up with Manfred Coen, Sidelâs blue-eyed protégé cop. Both men love her, and when Marilyn becomes a target, theyâll destroy the city to save her, if they donât kill each other first. |
