The Toltec Cup
2022
Overview
The Toltec Cup was published in 1890 by A. C. Wheeler
under the pseudonym of \"Nym Crinkle.\" A tale of conspiracy and love
triangles, the novel centers on a mysterious silver cup covered in
hieroglyphs that goes missing just days after its owner's death.
New York Police Inspector John Wilder grows suspicious when someone
offers a huge reward for the cup's return. Wilder traces the reward
to Colin Carteret, an artist engaged to the murdered man's
daughter, who swears he did not know of the cup before the reward
appeared in the newspaper. Together, the two men follow a trail of
clues that lead them to New York City slums, a beautiful young
woman named Manuella Castleton, and a syndicate that believes that
the cup will lead to an extraordinary buried treasure. Contemporary
readers will enjoy the novel's remarkable depictions of
mid-nineteenth-century New York City. Roaming the Gas House
District, the Bowery, Union Square, Harlem, and the Meatpacking
District, The Toltec Cup explores a dynamic landscape and
diverse peoples. This new edition revives a forgotten world for a
new generation of readers.
