Cyclopean skyscrapers, bizarre cults, strange foreigners, and eerie alleyways — the city of New York stands on the threshold between the modern age and the Mythos.

As the investigators delve into the mystery, they discover the perils of learning to much … The Wreck: The tramp steamer Star of Mauritius is discovered drifting in the harbour. Her crew are all dead or missing. What secrets lie within her rusting hull? Return to Red Hook: Thomas Malone led the police into the slums of Red Hook ten years ago, and dozens of officers died there. Now, the horror at Red Hook has returned, and once again New York's finest must risk their lives amid the crumbling bricks tenements. The Investigators are law enforcement agents and their civilian consultants, answerable for their actions, but will the full force of the law be enough to stem the tide of the Mythos?	„
