Loisaida -- A New York Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615336817)

One evening, in a neighborhood on the brink, boy meets girl. If only they'd gone home together, they might both still be alive. The core of this gritty, only in New York-story was inspired by real events - a beautiful, aspiring dancer slain. The psychotic roommate has confessed, but a dilettante actor-turned-journalist thinks there's more to it and investigates. Welcome to New York's East Village, aka Loisaida, circa 1988. Meet your neighbors - artists, dreamers, hustlers, devil worshipers, anarchists, junkies and yuppies - all competing for breathing space in a city without air. It's the era of greed, when the poor are objects of scorn not sympathy, and the gentrifiers view themselves as urban pioneers. This is a story about sex and drugs and real estate. This is a story about a murder... Word Count: 101k Genre: Literary Fiction, General Fiction, Neo-noir, Literary Thriller
