#5. The Good Policeman: Police commissioner Isaac Sidel struggles to keep the New York Police Department from shatteringWhen he was the police commissioner’s first deputy, Isaac Sidel was one of the most powerful men in New York. But now that he’s been promoted to the top job, there’s nothing for Sidel to do but stare at his desk and feed the tapeworm that’s attached to his stomach. The Justice Department sends him on a lecture tour of the country, but after one too many lunches with small-town mayors, Sidel goes AWOL and comes back to New York, getting in touch with the Ivanhoes, his illegal network of secret informants. A missing mob lawyer, a baseball-obsessed orphan genius, and a mysterious Romanian princess point towards a mystery that only he can tackle. Justice wants him back on tour, but something is rumbling beneath the city, and Sidel needs to be there to see it explode.
#6. Maria’s Girls: In debt to the mob, Sidel’s sidekick brings hell to One Police Plaza
For Detective Caroll Brent, special attention from Commissioner Sidel is not a good thing. Sidel’s last pet detective, Manfred Coen, was killed by a gang of smugglers, and none of Sidel’s favorites have had good luck since. But when Sidel taps Brent for an unusual assignment, the young cop can’t refuse.
As part of a feud with the head of the Board of Education, Sidel turns Brent into a one-man special task force to patrol the city’s schools. The lonely, miserable, dangerous work is not Brent’s only trouble. Ever since he made the mistake of marrying an heiress, he has been spending like mad to keep up with her lifestyle, borrowing money from the mob to keep himself in tuxedos on a detective’s salary. When his money runs out, it’s Sidel who will have to cover the debt.
#7. Montezuma’s Man: Montezuma’s man is Joe Barbarossa, a drug-dealing half-breed police detective. Now he’s been commandeered by Commissioner Isaac Side to help wreak havoc on New York’s gangland. Their two-man war on the city’s Mafia leads them on a twisted, hallucinogenic trail that will eventually take them to Sicily itself.
#8. Little Angel Street: The acclaimed author of Montezuma’s Man presents the new book in his New Isaac Quartet, starring idiosyncratic NYPD Commissioner Isaac Sidel. Now the mayor, Sidel must foil the evil plans of a white racist group, maintain his power over rebellious forces in the NYPD, and make it back to Angel Street with the love of his life, Margaret Tolstoy
#9. El Bronx: In his ninth outing, the celebrated author of "Little Angel Street" turns New York mayor Isaac Sidel loose in a richly imagined, colorful tapestry of blackmail, murder, kidnapping, and baseball strikes.
#10. Citizen Sidel: Mayor Isaac Sidel is the Democrats’ darling, the front-runner for the vice-presidential nomination. His running mate’s checkered past includes baseball czardom and student radicalism at Columbia that is now causing some concern. But Sidel has his own worries as two police captains are at each other’s throats, a supposedly dead cop may be prowling the Lower East Side, the ex-mayor is in the madhouse, and the Latin Jokers gang is shooting people on the street. For Isaac Sidel, the road to Pennsylvania Avenue is exceedingly treacherous.
