The Weeping Woman — Michael Kilian

Set in the roaring twenties, this clever series takes readers to the height of the Jazz Age...a time when the music was bolder and the personalities brighter. From speakeasies to the bohemian scene, New York to Paris, follow Bedford Green, a man-about-town who dabbles in art dealing and mingles with crime....

On a spring day in 1925, Bedford Green walks into his Greenwich Village gallery to find his assistant, Sloane, overcome by tears. She is holding a postcard from a friend who now lives in Paris. The card reads: "The latest cry" and "Pain." Sloane fears the worst.

Bedford isn't one to refuse a weeping woman--especially Sloane. With help from Hemingway and Zelda Fitzgerald, they search for the missing girl...on a trail that leads them from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Picasso, Paris to Cannes--and immerses them in a murder case that's more daunting than the Riviera scene itself.
