A journalist in nineteenth-century New York matches wits with a
serial killer in a gripping thriller by the prizewinning author of
the Ian Hamilton Mysteries. New York, 1880. Elizabeth van den Broek
is the only female reporter at the Herald, the city's most popular
newspaper. Then she and her bohemian friend Carlotta Ackerman find
a woman's body wrapped like a mummy in a freshly dug hole in
Central Park-the intended site of an obelisk called Cleopatra's
Needle. The macabre discovery takes Elizabeth away from the society
pages to follow an investigation into New York City's darkest
shadows. When more bodies turn up, each tied to Egyptian lore,
Elizabeth is onto a headline-making scoop more sinister than she
could have imagined. Her reporting has readers spellbound, and each
new clue implicates New York's richest and most powerful citizens.
And a serial killer is watching every headline. Now a madman with
an indecipherable motive is coming after Elizabeth and everyone she
loves. She wants a good story? She may have to die to get it.
