After a lucky night at the faro table, he nearly trips over his big scoop: four cats, killed and ritually arranged on a Greenwich Village sidewalk. Catricide! Max sells the story and pursues it, from low dives to posh mansions; from a proper, if eccentric, organization of respectable ladies, who are killing stray cats to save them; to a bizarre conspiracy of tenement landlords and insurance interests who are getting rich by exploiting the misery of the poorer elements of society.At the heart of The Midnight Band of Mercy is a story too strange to be true, except most of it is. Based on actual eventsactual crimesthat occurred in New York City in 1893, Michael Blaines brilliant historical novel recreates an age when American belief in scientific progress led to the slaughter of innocents.
