So, I'm still reading Ripper. Carver has finally figured out the name of his father. Jay Cusack, but there are so many Jay Cusacks in New York. Not knowing where to start Carver decides to start looking for the many Jay Cusacks in hopes of finding his father. When Carver meets Katie Miller who owned the apartment that one of the many Jay Cusacks lived in Carver finally thinks he might be getting somewhere.
Katie Miller tells him that the Jay Cusack that lived in the apartment she used to own was really violent and he looked like Carver. Katie also tells him that Jay Cusack took a package from her that was supposed to be for a person that went by the name of Raphael Trone. Frightened by his new discovery Carver heads back to the Octagon where the mental are kept also where Detective Hawking lives. With the help of Hawking Carver figures out that "Jay Cusack's" actual name was actually Raphael Trone which is a really unique and distinct name.
Now with a new lead Carver sets out to go find Raphael Trone, but before he gets to his final destination Carver gets the feeling that he's being tailed, and a blizzard hits New York. As Carver runs from his stalker he's out of luck because with the thick snow the blizzard left behind his stalker continues to follow the footprints Carver left so trying to lose the stalker is out of the question.
Carver hits a dead end when his stalker starts advancing on him, but the stalker is the least of Carver's worries now because he finds himself face to face with Finn the bully from the orphanage who was adopted by the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Echols. Pinned to the ground by Finn's gang Carver sees no way out, but is saved by Mrs. Echols who enters right before Finn's about to slug Carver.
After, his close encounter with Finn, Carver starts to head back to the agency but on his way he finds an over turned wagon and in the wagon he finds Detective Hawking who was on his way to a crime scene involving the murder of another woman.
With the murderer still on the lose who knows what will happen next.
