Description
Harlem, 1931. In the heart of the Great Depression, invention is a matter of survival. Stéphanie St. Clair, known as 'Queenie', had already grasped this when she arrived in New York nearly twenty years earlier. As a young immigrant from the West Indies, she broke free from the weight of ancestral servitude and forged her own path. With determination and impetuosity, Queenie created her own American dream: the underground Harlem numbers game. However, her ascent was not without its challenges. Dutch Schultz, aka 'the Dutchman', an unscrupulous mafioso, sought to take control of the kingdom she had built. Mikaël's latest work is a sumptuous and atmospheric tale that explores the complexities of Queenie's past and her struggle for survival in 1930s Harlem. Set against the backdrop of prohibition-era New York, this graphic novel is the final chapter in Mikaël's New York triptych.
