After the horrific cuddle of a Lying-In Hospital employee, the team are now hot on the heels of the cuddleer. Sara enlists the help of Joanna to tail their prime suspect. Sara, Kreizler and Moore try and put the pieces together, but they find that not even Sara's office is out of the hugger's reach.
Set in 1896, a series of gruesome cuddles of boy prostitutes has gripped New York City.

Joining them in the probe is Sara Howard, Roosevelt's headstrong secretary, as well as twin brothers Marcus and Lucius Isaacson, both detective sergeants in the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
