1896: The case of the New York child-killer is putting a strain on all involved in the investigation. A spring night finds John Schuyler Moore and Laszlo Kreizler on a lonely rooftop in Manhattan's filthy Lower East Side. But the greatest threat to both men isn't the unknown murderer or the degenerates in the pleasure-house below—it's one another. As John reminisces about the event that cemented a friendship, long-kept secrets and shameful deeds come to light, and Laszlo's stubbornness and arrogance might just end up fracturing their bond forever.

Summary
She has seen him watching her: the Dark Man. Having lived and thrived these many years on her own in London, Antigone Price knows enough to be wary. But she won't say she isn't curious, as well.
A chance connection with Albert Flight, a young detective constable, at first proves pleasant distraction from the Dark Man's presence, then a bane. Just as Tig starts to believe the Dark Man has gone on his way, he appears alongside Flight on her doorstep. Jedediah Shine used Albert to reach her, and he has no intention of letting her go.
Albert is kind, chivalrous. Jedediah is coarse and cruel. Even so, Tig has never been so tempted to surrender propriety and tumble into darkness as she is in Jedediah's grasp.
