Mystery
Chicago's magnificent White City will soon be fading into
memory. As the grand Exposition of 1893 reaches its final
day, the metropolis is rocked by the public assassination of
its popular mayor. In the chaos that ensues, another
murder—the savage slaughter of a Pinkerton agent posing as a
prostitute in a seedy slum alleyway—goes virtually unnoticed
. . . except by police inspector Alastair Ransom.
An avenging angel haunted by the ghosts and mistakes of his
past, Ransom called the slain detective, Nell Hartigan,
"friend"—and his unorthodox inquiries into her murder are
pointing him toward a fiend who's targeting the city's most
unremarkable and disposable citizens. But in a great urban
slaughterhouse, where foul corruption festers in every dark
corner, Ransom will find himself accused of the one crime he
did not commit . . . and facing the final judgment of the
hangman's noose.
