The Devil's Half Mile (Justice Flanagan Series, Book #1) by Paddy Hirsch
New York, 1799. A cauldron of opportunity and oppression in a new world of possibility. Thanks to Alexander Hamilton, America has recovered from the financial panic of 1792, but the young country is still finding its way.
New lawyer Justice Flanagan, fresh from university, returns to discover who murdered his father. But the city has changed, and the ghosts of the past are all too present, even before bodies appear in alleyways -- young women, brutally murdered.
Justy teams up with Kerry O'Toole, a childhood friend and mixed-race daughter of an escaped slave and an Irish gangster, to discover the truth, only to reveal a massive fraud that the perpetrators are determined to keep secret at any cost. And as the body count rises among the rich and downtrodden alike, the looming crisis could topple the nation.
