"The Slasher" liked his women pretty, poor, and Irish. The first two victims survived their encounters with the mysterious madman, but the third one died. Worried that two of her friends, both working-class Irishwomen, might be in danger, Francesca Cahill begins her own investigation. Having developed something of a reputation as an amateur sleuth, Francesca is used to working with the New York police, and in particular police commissioner Rick Bragg. Although Francesca might be willing to put her own life in danger, her fiance, Calder Hart, is less than thrilled, especially since she is doing so with Rick, who is not only Calder's half brother but also a former rival for Francesca's affections. As Francesca searches for clues and struggles with her complicated feelings for two different men, readers will follow her from turn-of-the-century New York's immigrant tenements to its wealthiest mansions.
