“A Murder On Allen Street” follows Rivka Lenski, a Russian-Jewish immigrant and an orphan who cannot read or write in English. Her days in the city of New York are spent in survival mode. When her friend and coworker, Frieda Baum, is found murdered in unsavory circumstances, Rivka vows to find the murderer and bring justice to her friend’s devastated family.

Rivka’s search for her friend’s killer leads her to the diverse and complex world of corruption, racism, and crime. It also brings her face to face with the intertwined worlds of this New York, from the glorious mansions of Gramercy Park to the haunts of ambitious prostitutes and entertainers, into the lives of women who love each other as well as informants and pickpockets, while growing stronger and more aware of a world she had never noticed before.
