Harlem

In 1931 Harlem, a Black woman rises to power in the underground numbers game, defying the odds and challenging the white mafia.

Stéphanie St. Clair, 'Queenie,' an inventive West Indian immigrant, creates her own American dream in the Harlem numbers game. Her ascent draws the ire of local authorities and the ruthless mafioso Dutch Schultz, who seeks to control her kingdom. Queenie's determination and enigmatic past guide her as she fights to protect her territory and community.

Mikaël's Harlem, the final chapter of his New York triptych, paints a vivid portrait of a strong, enigmatic woman in a sumptuous chiaroscuro style. Perfect for fans of historical crime graphic novels and stories of female empowerment.
