Drawing on archivalmaterials and including newspaper accounts of the day, Cohen introduces us to the last manhanged as a pirate in this fair city on Friday the 13th, 1860: a handsome, charismatic thief andkiller called Albert Hicks. Hicks roamed the ports and dives of the day, working for a time with asidekick named Tom Stone, â€œSundance to Hicksâ€s Butch,â€• but by 1860 Hicks was onceagain working alone. Hicksâ€s final crime was the brutal murder of three men aboard an oystersloop; he killed them, stole their money and valuables, then attempted to sink the ship. The ghostship was discovered with frightening evidence of the bloody crime, and the search for the killerbegan. Cohen recounts not only this heinous crime, but the life of a man who in a strange wayembodied the soul of America at the time, â€œcourageous yet grotesque.â€• Hicks gave aconfession in order to supply his soon-to-be widow with funds after his death, and thousandsflocked to his hanging. Cohenâ€s remarkable tale is a fascinating window on an earlyunderworld legend in a city that made a star out of a killer. â€”Seira Wilson, Amazon Book ReviewRead more â€œRich Cohenâ€s The Last Pirate of New York is a compulsively readablenonfiction tale of mystery and murder. He captures the cityâ€s teeming waterfront of the mid-1800s, crawling with every conceivable Dickensian degenerate and then some, with brilliance. Heis one of the finest storytellers there is, and The Last Pirate of New York takes its place alongsideErik Larsonâ€s The Devil in the White City and Nathaniel Philbrickâ€s In the Heart of the Sea.Pick it up; you wonâ€t put it down.â€•â€”Buzz Bissinger, author ofÂ Friday Night Lightsâ€œThe Last Pirate of New York is an absolutely incredible true story. From the opening scene ofa blood-drenched ship drifting in the fog, severed fingers lying on deck, to the evocative depictionsof the New York waterfront teeming with murderers, mountebanks, and crooks, this is not a bookfor the faint of heart. Rich Cohenâ€s research is masterful, and he brings alive nineteenthcenturyNew York in raucous and fascinating detail. This is history at its best, full of drama, crime,dogged detectives, curious characters, smoky taverns, and dark byways. I highly recommend thisremarkable book.â€•â€”Douglas Preston, #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂThe Lost City of the Monkey God â€œThe Last Pirate of New York is a riveting tale of GothamCityâ€s first gangster and most notorious serial killer.
