The narrative follows Chester Fay, an underworld operator hired to investigate the mysterious death of Putney Stephney, a visitor found dead atop a freight train after being last seen entering a gray taxi. Working with a British detective and a reformer’s contact, Fay probes a network linking paroled drivers, a Gray Taxi Company, and an organized criminal syndicate tied to the taxi network.
