Although this is the second part of the story, it stands well enough on its own, although I'm sure it would be better to read the two volumes back to back. I get the sense in reading this that it has a large element of historical background as its inspiration. For example, I could see where New York power broker Robert Moses might be a basis for the book's central baddie, Lewis Solomon, whose architectural misdeeds ultimately cause the collapse of a bridge in a similar manner to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge disaster. At its heart, this book is a noir mystery with lots of shady characters and red herrings, not to mention some dark romantic subplots. The anthropomorphic character designs are interesting and well done, as is the detailed background work depicting a New York from decades ago. This book works as both a mystery and a period piece.
