Dust to Dust — Jess Faraday

Friday, December 13, 1895 Marshal Calvin Sutter is looking forward to treating his best guy, Ira Adler, to a posh birthday supper. But New York City Police Commissioner Edgar DuBois has other plans for Sutter's evening. He wants Sutter to investigate the suspicious death of a fortune teller on the upper east side. The death is more than suspicious, though, and it's not the first one—a fact that DuBois conveniently neglected to mention. Blackmail, unnaturally large sandy footprints, and a very determined black cat come together around a most mysterious question: who is murdering these seemingly random victims, and why are they killing them with sand?
