Annotation

Life in 1850 is hard, especially for those living in the slums of Boston. But one man has found a way to prosper in this sea of sin. Byron Drake is cold and ruthless, snatching the young Irish girls fleeing from the deadly famine as they disembark in Boston Harbor. Through fear and force, he uses them to line his own pockets. However, his girls have been disappearing from the streetsswallowed into the frigid, Boston nights, never to be seen again. Who is taking Drakes profit from him? And what role does a headstrong socialite named Josephine Hamilton play in the disappearance of these girls? Can her faith and her God truly protect her as she engages the ruthless evil that stalks these young women?
