As a mulatto in the late 19th century, Detective Nicholas Rey faced discrimination from both white and black society. He was assigned the case of solving the serial killings, but could do little to actually solve them given the materials at his disposal. The police department gave him the title of detective yet didn’t allow him the tools a detective would need to solve a case. He was not even given a weapon to carry.
