My first read by this author and what a read it is! It conjures the sights and smells of New York in 1803. A city where violence rules and life is cheap; especially if your female.
Kerry O'Toole finds a young girl dying in a putrid alleyway which prostitutes frequent and men relieve themselves. She informs the city watch and they inform the Marshall who starts an investigation.
In a city where gangs fight for control of the streets; where life is cheap and corruption is rife, the Marshall Justy Flanagan faces an uphill struggle. We see Justy fighting to uncover the killer before a lynch mob takes to the street. Kerry and Justy find themselves combining forces to solve the murder
This book will appeal to fans of Peaky Blinders etc.
