His epic masterwork "Speaks the Nightbird," a tour de force of
witch hunt terror in a colonial town, was hailed by Sandra Brown as
"deeply satisfying...told with matchless insight into the human
soul." Now, Robert McCammon brings the hero of that spellbinding
novel, Matthew Corbett, to eighteenth-century New York, where a
killer wields a bloody and terrifying power over a bustling city
carving out its identity -- and over Matthew's own uncertain
destiny.
The unsolved murder of a respected doctor has sent ripples of fear
throughout a city teeming with life and noise and commerce. Who
snuffed out the good man's life with the slash of a blade on a
midnight street? The local printmaster has labeled the fiend "the
Masker," adding fuel to a volatile mystery...and when the Masker
claims a new victim, hardworking young law clerk Matthew Corbett is
lured into a maze of forensic clues and heart-pounding
investigation that will both test his natural penchant for
detection and inflame his hunger for justice.
In the strangest twist of all, the key to unmasking the Masker may
await in an asylum where the Queen of Bedlam reigns -- and only a
man of Matthew's reason and empathy can unlock her secrets. From
the seaport to Wall Street, from society mansions to gutters
glimmering with blood spilled by a deviant, Matthew's quest will
tauntingly reveal the answers he seeks -- and the chilling truths
he cannot escape.
