A year after the events narrated in The Alienist, the cast of characters from that novel are again brought together to investigate a crime committed in the heady days of New York in the 1890s, but this time narrated by the orphan Stevie Taggert. It seems she has been abducted but no ransom note is received and the detectives Isaacson quickly discover that a nurse, Elspeth Hunter, is probably the kidnapper. A young child, the daughter of Spanish diplomats, disappears.
But what are her motives? They also discover that Hunter has been a little too closely connected with the death of three other infants. She married a fortune, and although she is connected to some fairly rough villains this crime does not fit their modus operandi.
Is it something as 'simple' as psychological disturbance due to her own inability to bear children, or something more sinister unguessed at?
