| Summary: | A month before he becomes New York City's mayor, Sidel confronts a gang of baseball-loving racists For the first time in his adult life, Isaac Sidel is no longer a cop. He has moved beyond the halls of One Police Plaza, and is about to take residence in Gracie Mansion, after winning New York's mayoral election in a landslide. Unable to bear his downtown apartment without his girlfriend--who is in Europe confronting her Nazi-tinged past--the increasingly paranoid mayor-elect has set up shop in a homeless shelter under the name Geronimo Jones. His aides roust him from his hiding spot and have returned him to work when he gets a call from the shelter: Geronimo Jones is dead. A gang of white supremacists roams the city, murdering shelter residents and marking them with Sidel's alias. They leave notes with each victim, signing them with the names of nineteenth-century baseball players. Mayors don't go armed, but Sidel isn't the mayor yet. He and his Glock will settle this problem before he takes his oath of office. <br> |
