Stephanie St. Clair ruled Harlem’s numbers racket for years, constantly fending off the Mob’s attempts to seize her underworld territory. She outmaneuvered and outlasted mobster Dutch Schultz, and she avoided the prosecutorial gaze of Thomas Dewey. Author Mary Kay McBrayer takes a fresh look at St. Clair’s life, from her revered position in New York’s Black community to her private torments and mysterious golden years.
