About this book
A January morning in 1892 brings Detective Swift news that the financier Felix Page has died under suspicious circumstances. Only moments earlier, Swift was reading how Page had broken a rival's attempt to corner the wheat market. Sent to Page's neglected mansion in Sheridan Park, the young officer must make sense of a scene that has already baffled the local police, with two suspects held at the house.
Charles Edmonds Walk tells the investigation through Swift's own voice, mixing observations of city life with uncertain memories and competing accounts. Alexander Burke's statements invite close scrutiny, while Genevieve offers her help despite fears about her uncle Alfred. A cipher adds another problem to a case already complicated by personal loyalties.
