The Isaac Quartet contains four detective stories from an internationally acclaimed master of the genre. Blue Eyes, the first book in Jerome Charyn's legendary crime series, introduces Isaac Sidel the toughest, most incorruptible police inspector in the biz. In Marilyn the Wild, Isaac confronts the hot-headed daughter of the first deputy police commissioner. The Education of Patrick Silver tells the story of a giant shoeless Irishman who becomes just another pawn in the war between Isaac and a gang of Peruvian pimps. And in Secret Isaac, a scar on a prostitute's cheek sends Isaac on a desperate trip to Ireland in search of relief from the tightening grip on his soul. "Packed with manic energy, peopled with bizarre characters and outrageous situations. [Charyn] sounds like a ... Jewish Philip Marlowe." Chicago Sun-Times "These books constitute the highest kind of novelistic art ... absolutely unique among contemporary writers." Los Angeles Times
