From the back cover:
"It is 1871. A prominent New York attorney must go to a private investigator named Harp to find his missing young wife. She has vanished into the teeming underworld of crive and corruption beneath the city's respectable surface-a realm of sin and savagery that Harp knows better than any other man.
But even Harp is shocked at what he discovers when he tumbles over the corpse of a slain prostitute. Only one thing is sure in this labyrinth of lust and lies, where the best people do the worst things, and money can buy anything from a woman's body to a killer's skill. A monstrous murderrer is loose in Manhattan-and to catch him the kid gloves must come off...
