Publisher's Synopsis

Set in post-Civil War New York, where the Tweed Ring operates the city for its own profit, and a self-satisfied class of new wealth and weak intellect glitters in its setting of mass misery. One day in 1871, a man sees a figure he recognizes as his supposedly dead and buried father.
