FICTION
The Eye That Never Sleeps

For readers who like well-researched historical fiction, and who love a fast-paced detective story set in turbulent nineteenth-century New York.
Hired by the city’s bankers to track down and apprehend the thief who is plundering their banks, private detective Sheldon Minick develops a friendship with his chief suspect, Nicholas Hale, an elegant young man-about-town who is in every way the sober Methodist detective’s opposite. They agree to a truce and undertake each to show the other the city that he knows and values. Further adventures follow, including a tour of the docks, a slaughterhouse, a cancan, and a visit to a whorehouse with leap-frogging whores. But when the truce ends, the inevitable finale comes in the dark midnight vaults of a bank.
