Summary
THE EMPIRE STATE IS THE OTHER NEW YORK. A parallel-universe,
Prohibition-era world of mooks and shamuses that is the twisted
magic mirror to our bustling Big Apple, a place where sinister
characters lurk around every corner while the great superheroes
that once kept the streets safe have fallen into dysfunctional
rivalries and feuds. Not that its colourful residents know
anything about the real New York… until detective Rad
Bradley makes a discovery that will change the lives of all its
inhabitants. Playing on the classic Gotham conventions of the
Batman comics and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, debut author
Adam Christopher has spun this smart and fast-paced
superhero-noir adventure, the sort of souped-up thrill ride
that will excite genre fans and general readers alike.
