St Louis was the fourth largest city in America; the crossroads linking East and West; the jewel of the Mississippi River; a thriving industrial metropolis, where dreams came true and great fortunes were made.  Yet, the mighty city had a dark side; the hustle and bustle of Industrial Era growth and prosperity masked a ruthless underworld of vice, corruption and murder.

When a brutally murdered corpse is found along the Mississippi, Herbert Falken is called upon, once again, to hunt down another black-hearted monster.  However, Falken's quest for the truth is confounded by a relentless all-powerful adversary--his own tortured soul.

Deceit, treachery and betrayal lay around every corner.  Each clue seems to contradict the last; answers spawn new questions.  The elusive truth can be uncovered, but what will it cost?

Friendship, integrity and honor are stretched to the breaking point, by the St Louis Affair.
