Private detective Gilda Carr nearly died to save her city when the ruined Westside of Manhattan erupted in civil war. Now in the hard winter of 1922, a family of eccentric street preachers has hired her to recover a holy relic—the finger of a saint—essential to “the electric resurrection,” when they say the Westside’s countless dead will return to life. To a cynical detective, faith is a weakness. Fighting the urge to believe in miracles, Gilda is astounded when her long-dead mother, Mary Fall, walks through the parlor door. Gilda has many questions, yet Mary remembers nothing of her daughter or her own death. But that doesn’t stop her from being as infuriatingly bossy as Gilda herself. As Mary threatens to drive her insane, Gilda keeps their relationship secret so that they can work together to investigate what brought Mary back to life. The search will force Gilda to reckon with the nature of death and family and accept the uncomfortable truth that her mother was a saint—and a flawed human being.
