""This engrossing comic vision of the dark side of politics in
Albany follows Roscoe Conway, a quick-witted, charismatic lawyer
and politician who has devoted much of his life to helping his
democratic party cohorts. As he is about to publicly declare his
resignation, he receives news of the suicide of his friend Elisha,
a former democratic mayor of Albany. Elisha's death starts all
sorts of rumors, and Conway has no choice but to analyze the last
20 years of his life in order to understand the reasons that
prompted his friend's suicide. His relationship with Irish
gangsters, rigging of elections, alcohol smuggling, and gambling
are some of the memories he recalls that end up forming a portrait
of political and economic power in Albany during the first half of
the 20th century.
