The misadventures of Paulie Dom Rubin, a streetwise Brooklyn guy with a weakness for baseball and attractive dames, takes center stage as the Masters of Suspense, Marilyn DiMaggios, and Black Lagoons Matter battle for New York City bragging rights in a redrafted and reimagined 1954 season. With its narrative generated by tabletop events in the author's board game league, Paulie's dramatic hijinks with Grace Kelly, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe make it a Manhattan summer to remember.
