About this ebook
When an explosion kills wealthy industrialist Gregory Van Dyke, Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt presumes that anarchists are responsible and personally asks Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to track them down. Malloy is up to the challenge - but he faces a different kind of challenge when he encounters Sarah Brandt paying a condolence call on the Van Dykes. Faced with the impossibility of ever expressing his true feelings for Sarah, Frank had vowed never to see or work with her again." For her part, Sarah is glad to be working with Malloy once again in his hunt for a dangerous killer - though they clash over his conviction that the murder was politically motivated.

While I once again suspected the solution of the mystery in this book, it had enough twists and false leads to make me doubt my certainty. The characters were very fun to read about and having the action take place in the high society of late 19th century New York only made it that much more entertaining to read. And of course, as always the main characters and their chemistry are sheer pleasure to read. The only weak link of the book is a subplot about a rather cliche young orphan.
