"[An] impressive historical thriller." --Publishers Weekly
Ellis Island, 1920.
New York Harbor's immigration and public health authorities are slowly
recovering from the war years when a young, pregnant Irish woman
disappears from the Isolation Hospital on Ellis Island.
Stephen Robbins, a specialist in finding missing persons, is assigned
the case. Yet when he arrives at the isolation hospital, he discovers an
inexplicable string of deaths and disappearances among immigrant
patients...and a staff that seems to be hiding a chilling secret.
Stephen finds an ally in Lucy Paul, an undercover nurse who is also
investigating the mysterious incidents. Together, they begin to unearth
a horrifying conspiracy masked beneath the hospital's charitable
exterior. As Stephen and Lucy get closer to the truth and each other,
they are swept directly into the danger haunting Ellis Island and become
the next targets.
Amidst growing racial tensions in the wake of World War I, My Mistress'
Eyes are Raven Black explores the disturbing lengths to which people
will go to protect racial purity and condemn those they fear.
