"As the sun sets over the city that never sleeps, private investigator Joshua Oates finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. It's 1921, and Oates has just relocated his operations from Boston to the bustling streets of New York City. But his peaceful new beginning is shattered when he receives a mysterious note and an envelope full of cash from a new client, asking him to meet at the Brooklyn Bridge.

But when the client fails to show up and Oates returns to his office to find it ransacked, he realizes he has stumbled upon something dangerous. A young woman hires him to investigate the murder of her husband, a newspaper reporter with a sordid past. As Oates delves deeper into the case, he must navigate his way through mob bosses, the police, and a new federal agency. And to make matters worse, there's a dangerous and elusive arms dealer selling deadly weapons to the city's most notorious crime syndicates.

As the pressure mounts, Oates must also juggle his complicated relationship with NYPD detective Angela Lang, who's busy solving multiple murder cases with her partner, Henry Myles. And when Oates thinks he's uncovered the truth, he uncovers a shocking link to a small island near Manhattan and a Long Island mansion built during the Gilded Age.

Fans of gritty detective stories will love this thrilling tale of corruption, love, and danger in the roaring 1920s. If you enjoyed books like "The Maltese Falcon" or "The Big Sleep," then you won't want to miss "Murder By The Numbers".
