A Curtain Falls by Stefanie Pintoff
Both Detective Simon Ziele and his former partner Captain Declan Mulvaney's careers went in different directions after the tragic death of Zeile's fiancee in the General Slocum ferry disaster. While both seemed destined for bigger things, Ziele moved to a small town north of New York City to escape the violence and Mulvaney now heads up the force in the most crime ridden district in the city. Yet, with all of the resources at Mulvaney's disposal, he still needs a man that he can trust to work a case with the potential for disaster when a chorus girl is found dead on a Broadway stage dressed in the leading lady's costume. There are no signs of violence at all and it would look like a suicide if she wasn't the second chorus girl to turn up dead in the last few weeks: It's clear they have a serial killer on their hands. "A Curtain Falls" is a moody and evocative tale that finds Simon and his partners scouring the streets of turn-of-the-century New York in search of a true monster.
