About this listen
Albert Beauchamp disappeared just before Christmas in 1856. When he reappears more than a year later, he's in several pieces, packed in salt in a shipping crate in New Orleans. NYC inspectors Jasper Lightner and his partner, Hieronymus Law, are called in to investigate - but the further they dig into the wealthy financier's background, the dirtier the story gets.
On the surface, Beauchamp had a lot of friends. But, as they discover, each had a good reason to hate him. Beauchamp's last will and testament - stashed away in a safety deposit box, along with a king's ransom in jewels - yields few clues, but Jasper and Hy discover something even more valuable: a little black book filled with names, dates, and a cache of damning details.
Following a trail of leads that reaches back to the early 1840s, the detectives uncover a sordid litany of high society scandals that still threatens the city's moneyed establishment. And the shadowy figure who knows their dirtiest secrets re-emerges with a devious new plan that goes far beyond simple blackmail. The dark shadows grow longer as Jasper and Hy close in on the truth - and a killer lies in wait for his ultimate prey.

Enjoyable story with a masterclass in narration!
Rupert Degas is by far my favourite narrator & it’s purely for this reason that I downloaded this book & its predecessor. I enjoyed the first but thought this was even better. Twists, turns & nothing left unanswered. Easy listening about a time in New York that intrigues the genealogist in me & instills images that echo likely from watching Gangs of New York. Grim, sad but also funny in many places I find the stories well written & Degas simply outdoes himself in his narration. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next one!!
