'Spectacular' Gillian Flynn. SEVEN FOR A SECRET is the captivating
second novel in Lyndsay Faye's Edgar Award-nominated series, for
fans of Andrew Taylor and Antonia Hodgson's The Devil in the
Marshalsea. 1846: KIDNAP, MURDER, LOVE AND BETRAYAL ON THE LAWLESS
STREETS OF NEW YORK. Timothy Wilde, copper star in the newly formed
NYPD, thinks himself hardened to the darker practices of the city
he's grown up in. That is, until he encounters the 'blackbirders',
slave-catchers with a right to seize runaways from the Southern
states. When a woman reports her family has been stolen, Timothy
and his wayward brother Valentine find themselves plunged into an
underworld of violence and deceit, where police are complicit and
politics savage. If he's to protect all those he cares about,
Timothy must unravel the corruption at the heart of the authority
he was hired to defend...
