Description
It is the spring of 1928 in San Francisco, an especially unruly city and a place where no one seems to care if the body of an unknown prostitute is unceremoniously dumped in a dark Chinatown alley. No one, that is, until young companions and amateur sleuths Evelyn Winslow and Flora Fitzgerald learn about the death from their housemate, Wu Chin Jaing. The longer the garishly-dressed body remains in the alley, the angrier the women become at the injustice. Join in as Evelyn, Flora, and Jaing bring their quick wits, strong wills, and brave hearts to bear on the puzzle of the identity of both the victim and her killer. A wonderful read. O'Boyle deftly weaves an intriguing plot with rich details of 1920s San Francisco. Flora and Evelyn make a funny, delightful amateur team, investigating the death of a local young woman when police fail to act.Terry Shames, Award-winning author of Murder at the Jubilee Rally A Preposterous Alibi was named a Finalist in the 2022 Best Historical Mystery Claymore Award at the Killer Nashville conference.
