A year after the events narrated in The Alienist, the cast of
characters from that novel are again brought together to
investigate a crime committed in the heady days of New York in the
1890s, but this time narrated by the orphan Stevie Taggert. A young
child, the daughter of Spanish diplomats, disappears. It seems she
has been abducted but no ransom note is received and the detectives
Isaacson quickly discover that a nurse, Elspeth Hunter, is probably
the kidnapper. They also discover that Hunter has been a little too
closely connected with the death of three other infants. But what
are her motives? She married a fortune, and although she is
connected to some fairly rough villains this crime does not fit
their modus operandi. Is it something as 'simple' as psychological
disturbance due to her own inability to bear children, or something
more sinister unguessed at?
