From the author of The Trial of Mary Dugan comes this riveting tale of murder in New York City. A series of murders involving the deft stabbing of innocent young girls has the press and populace howling for action. No one, from the Commissioner and Chief Inspector to the lowliest detective of the force, has a clue toward solving the crimes, despite their access to the latest crime-solving equipment and techniques. It falls to Captain Wilson, an officer of the old school, to devise a trap for the tiger. And Wilson knows just the right bait to use . . .
