Unabridged Audiobook presented on 10 CDs with a running time of approximately 12 hours. 1845, New York City forms its first police force. The great potato famine hits Ireland. These two seemingly disparate events will change New York City forever. Timothy Wilde tends bar near the Exchange, fantasizing about the day he has enough money to win the girl of his dreams but when his dreams literally incinerate in a fire, he finds himself disfigured, unemployed, and homeless. His older brother obtains Timothy a job in the newly minted NYPD, but he is highly skeptical of the new police force. One night while making his rounds, Wilde literally runs into a little slip of a girl, not more than 10 years old, dashing through the dock and her night shift. Period. Covered head to toe in blood.
