1920's post steampunk New York City is being plagued by giant Enforcers. Enforcers are humans with giant metal exo-skeletons; soulless, pitiless and immensely strong. The Ghost has been trying to shut these creatures and their NYC mob boss down with help from NYPD Inspector Donovan. The Ghost has several broken ribs thanks to these things. Meanwhile Gabriel Cross is awaiting the return of his sometime girlfriend, Ginny. Ginny was supposed to be aboard the ship Centurion, returning from Egypt, when it came to port. He waited and waited, but no Ginny. Gabriel reached out to Donovan to help find Ginny. Meanwhile the Met Museum is getting ready for a huge new Egyptian exhibit. Donovan keeps coming up with homicide victims which have Egyptian cartouche and other hieroglyphs carved upon
them. If that isn't bad enough, a mob war is on the verge of exploding in the city. Lots of action and bizarre characters made this a fast fun read. ( )
