It is 1905 in New York City and Simon Ziele has left the big apple to find peace and quiet in a smaller police district. With the death of his fiance, Hannah, in a ferry disaster, he needs new challenges, new people and a new place in which to recover from his grief. When his supervisor becomes ill, he is drawn into the murder of a beautiful, intelligent woman. Michael Fromley whose violent behavior is being studied by a scientist is believed to have committed the crime. However, since evidence is lacking, Simon finds himself broadening his list of suspects. This is a fine mystery with fascinating and alive characters. Well deserving of the acclaim, it's a good, good read.
