A site by site, crime by crime, outlaw by outlaw
walking tour through the seedy underbelly of Roaring Twenties
Manhattan--where gamblers and gangsters, crooks and cops, showgirls and
speakeasies ruled the day and, always, the night.
Welcome
to the kaleidoscopic netherworld of Jazz Age Manhattan. Here in the big
city resides a crowded world of power and vice, of bright lights and
big money, of murder and more murder circling itself like a venomous
snake. Names intersect. Places intersect. Rackets intersect. Gambling
and bootlegging; Tammany Hall and City Hall; Wall Street and sports and
the theater are all joined at the hip--or, rather, the hip flask. At
the heart of all this wickedness nests a "Prince of Darkness," Arnold
Rothstein: the New York City gangland kingpin of kingpins, the shady
moneyman who bankrolled baseball's infamous 1919 World Series Fix. Hoodlums, hussies, whodunits, and hundreds of gangster-related sites--historian David Pietrusza's Gangsterland
is garishly backlit by Times Square's neon glare and boisterously
choreographed by high-kicking chorus lines of gams and glitter. Shake
hands with Arnold Rothstein, but count your fingers afterwards. At day's end, the wage of sin really is death.
