Restless and brave detective Francesca Cahill moves from her cozy little world on Fifth Avenue to the crowded lower classes of society, a place of passions and sometimes... deadly perversions. Despite the warnings of her fiancé Calder Hart, Francesca moves among the residents of the feared apartment buildings of Lower Manhattan, where a maniac attacked three women. And if the first two victims survived, then the third died, spreading terror in the quarter. The victims are all poor but beautiful Irish women, and Francesca fears that her two current friends could be next. Forced to work closely with police commissioner Rick Brag, the girl makes Calder jealous, complicating their relationship. But is it worth regretting about this, because she was on the trail of the killer, and if he is not stopped now, then tomorrow it will be too late. Translation: K. Bugaeva
