I am a fan of historical thrillers, and this one meets all my requirements.
Paddy Hirsch writes brilliantly, and paints the smells and sounds of Nineteenth Century New York.
The characters are great and come to life as you read.
New York is an expanding city and is rife with with tension and violence on every street. When a young girl is brutally murdered, Marshall Just Flanagan must find the killer before the gangs run riot and take over control of the city. Kerry O,Toole is Just,s friend and she also pursues her own investigation into the murder. They both encounter a treacherous web of conspiracy and danger.
If you are a fan of CJ Sanson then this is for you. I could not put the book down. A well written and enjoyable read
