But when Frank is fatally stabbed, one of Lionel's colleagues lands in jail, the other two vie for his position, and the victim's widow skips town.
Life without Frank Minna, the charismatic King of Brooklyn, would be unimaginable, so who cares if the tasks he sets them are, well, not exactly legal. Vincent's Home for Boys, he works for small-time mobster Frank Minna's limo service cum detective agency. Brooklyn's very own self-appointed Human Freakshow, Lionel Essrog is an orphan whose Tourettic impulses drive him to bark, count, and rip apart our language in startling and original ways. A compelling and complusively readable riff on the classic detective novel from America's most inventive novelist. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
