From Chapter 1
The rain came down in sheets over Grand Central Depot, turning the marble steps into a slick mirror of gaslight and shadow. Pearl Casey stood at the top of them, her boots planted wide, and stared at the body slumped against the fourth step from the bottom.
Her father.
She had known it would be him before the uniformed cop told her his name. There was something in the angle of his shoulders, the way his hands lay splayed on the wet stone like he'd been reaching for something. Or someone.
"You shouldn't be here, Miss Casey," the cop said. He was young, maybe twenty-four, with a face that hadn't learned yet how to hold still when something terrible happened. His cap sat too far forward on his forehead, pushing his eyes down into the shadows beneath the brim.
