The Beggar's Syllogism

About this book

In the glittering yet grimy world of 1888 New York City, a brutal murder shakes the foundations of Fifth Avenue high society. When an impoverished immigrant laborer is hastily framed for the crime by a corrupt police force, a lowly precinct clerk steps out of the shadows. Armed with a razor-sharp deductive mind forged on the streets and an intimate knowledge of the city's underbelly, he must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of political machines, illicit gambling rings, and ruthless aristocrats. Working against the clock and his own precarious social standing, this underdog sleuth pieces together a conspiracy that threatens to consume both the destitute tenements and the opulent mansions. It is a tale of intellect pitted against absolute power, where unearthing buried secrets is the only path to true justice.
