Book Synopsis
This compulsively readable guide looks deep into the heart of New York City, uncovering the stories behind startling headlines, quirky laws, and obscure police logs. From classic "strange but true" tales that made the national news to little-known, but equally odd, reports to the city desk, each story could only happen here.
