Description
After a hiatus to allow his damaged shoulder to heal, Patrick Moses is put in charge of an investigation into the lynching murder of a young black boy. No one in the mostly-Irish section of town knows anything; Chicago's black community is horrified. The same day, Moses receives news from his former home at Holy Trinity Orphanage that a young female resident has disappeared. Fear is she has been abducted. The aldermen John Coughlin and Hinky Dink Kenna return to the precinct to complain about the murder of Albert Butross, the owner of Lustland, a prominent brothel. The alleged killer, a prostitute, burned Butross to death in his own bed. Moses tries to keep the three cases separate, but the twists and turns in each case make them seem very similar.
