Description: The third entry in Mark Graham's fascinating series of mysteries set in old Philadelphia. At the spectacular Centennial exhibition, held in Philadelphia in 1876, America is finally beginning to take its place with the great civilizations of Europe. But just across the street is a strip of gambling halls, shooting galleries, dance halls, and freak shows, the first American "midway". When Wilton McCleary, Philadelphia police detective and Civil War veteran, is shanghaied into playing tour guide to a group of swells, he stumbles across the mutilated body of a teenage girl. This draws him deeper into a history of crime that stretches back twenty years and involves some of the city's most powerful people.
