This is the sequel to Robert McCammon's "Speaks the Nightbird". Matthew Corbett, erstwhile witch-saver is now in New York trying to find the identity of a serial killer. McCammon does wonderfully in describing the period and the setting of the story; however some parts now become slightly implausible, and not in a McCammon-like way.
This might be the second book of a series of the detective exploits of Matthew Corbett, and will therefore garner much readership because of it's relation to the first book, but I find the story more cobbled together and the characters less believable.
Not a good sequel, though some may disagree.
