Thanks Readers First & Atlantic for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis;
New York, 1803. The expanding city is rife with tension, and violence simmers on every street as black and Irish gangs fight for control. When a young girl is found brutally murdered, Marshal Justy Flanagan must find the killer before a mob takes the law into their own hands.
Kerry O'Toole, Justy's friend and ally, decides to pursue her own inquiries into the girl's murder. When they each find their way into a shadowy community on the fringes of the city, Justy and Kerry encounter a treacherous web of political conspiracy and criminal enterprise. As events dangerously escalate, they must fight to save not only the city, but also themselves...
Thoughts: The best story I’ve read in a while! Main Character Justy a city marshal tries to find out who killed a young black women and left her in the ally to die. This book has romance, violence, tension, action, friendship and more! It gives you a real picture into what New York was like back then. It’s hard to believe black people were slaves and were treated so badly. There’s so many different gangs in this book too. It’s so interesting. If you like historical fiction and thrillers/ crime stories you’ll love this!
