Sam Glodsky is an enterprising young fellow, but he may have gone too far to make a buck when he steals a valuable racing pigeon for a neighborhood gangster. Set on the streets of New York's Lower East Side during the turn of the twentieth century, this well-paced novel features a good sense of humor, an excellent depiction of place, and winning characterizations.
