When a young Italian immigrant named Stefano arrives in America, he brings with him the ruthless traditions of the Mafia—and a chilling ambition to build a criminal empire in the streets of a major U.S. city. As the mysterious "Black Hand" terrorizes shopkeepers and kills those who defy them, Inspector Griffith must find a way to penetrate the society's veil of fear and silence.

When Dr. Charles Wilmot Townsend is shot in his bedroom on the exact anniversary of a woman's death at a hospital, Inspector Schmittberger uncovers a chilling pattern: the gunman was waiting to strike at a precise moment, checking his watch in the darkness. The investigation leads to John Bell, whose wife Mamie died under the care of multiple doctors—and whose gravestone bears the ominous words "Life is Sweet, But Revenge is Sweeter," suggesting a plan to kill one physician each year for four years. Even after Bell's conviction and sentence are commuted, the inspector watches uneasily as the next anniversary approaches, knowing the killer's compulsion may not be finished.
