Mystery
Legs inaugurated William Kennedy's critically-acclaimed
cycle of novels (including Billy Phelan's Greatest Game and
Ironweed) set in his hometown of Albany, New York. True to both life and myth, Legs brilliantly evokes the
flamboyant career of the legendary gangster Jack "Legs"
Diamond, who was finally murdered in Albany. Through the
equivocal eyes of Diamond's attorney, we watch as Legs and
his showgirl mistress, Kiki Roberts, blaze their gaudy trail
across the tabloid pages of the 1920s and 1930s, emerging as
emblematic figures from an era of American innocence -- and
corruption.
