New York City, 1891. Aristocratic English pathologist Finley Jameson
Jameson and streetwise New York cop Joseph Argenti begin their second
adventure together investigating a high society poisoning case. But when
the daughter of a prominent banker dies in broad daylight from a sudden
heart attack, the case takes a curious turn. Jameson and Argenti
investigate deeper to see how many high society deaths from disease
might actually be murder.
This investigation sends a worrying ripple through New York high
society, since as much as families want to know the truth, a death by
natural causes is more acceptable than a serial killer preying on high
society girls.
As their investigation intesifies, and the sinister link between the
victims emerges, Jameson and Argenti worry the question isn't if there
is a serial killer, but if there is more than one.
