Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st edition, September 1994, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Two-page map of the City of New York, 1808. The third historical mystery, after The Kingsbridge Plot , in the saga of New York's Tonneman family. A "New-York" city official and a cashbox vanish; bodies are found, and suspects are trailed, questioned and occasionally beaten before the story is gorily resolved, almost by accident. Each chapter begins with a reproduction of an actual newspaper ad, and one scene cameos DeWitt Clinton, Washington Irving, Lorenzo da Ponte (Mozart's erstwhile librettist) and Clement Moore. Aaron Burr appears briefly. Gangs roam the poorer streets of the city, which, we're repeatedly told, ends at "Chambers-Street.". Book.
