Nueva York, 1896. John Schuyler Moore, reportero de sucesos de The New York Times, recibe una convocatoria en plena madrugada. Su antiguo compañero de Harvard, el famoso psicólogo (o alienista) Laszlo Kreizler, le pide que se presente en el puente de Williamsburg, donde se ha producido un crimen horrible. El director de la policía encargará a Kreizler y al propio Moore que dirijan la investigación: una jugada muy atrevida, pues un alienista es considerado poco menos que un hechizero. El problema para ambos investigadores, es que no saben nada del criminal. Para llegar a él tendrán que trazar un perfil psicológico basándose en su capacidad de penetración mental...

In this turbulent new world order, Wolfe's life and everything he knows are turned upside down when the widow of a murdered special-effects wizard enters his office. The widow hands him a silver disc from her husband's safety deposit box, hoping that Wolfe's expertise in history and criminology will compel him to track down her husband's killers.
