- Synopsis
- "Irresistibly seductive…a masterpiece." —Anthony BourdainIn the sweltering New York summer of 1841, five people are found brutally murdered. At the center of it all is High Constable Jacob Hays, the young city’s first detective and the novel’s "likeable, crusty narrator" (Time Out New York).
