For the Love of Mike
|
| | | "Rhys Bowen, author of the Agatha Award winning mystery Murphy's Law," returns to old New York with a new mystery featuring feisty Molly Murphy...
For the Love of Mike
A woman ahead of her time, Molly Murphy is determined to be a private detective. Having inherited the cases of her deceased mentor, Paddy Reilly, she's following philandering husbands, tracking down a runaway Dublin debutante, and working in a sweatshop to discover who's purloining dress designs. None of her jobs seem dangerous...at first. When a woman's body is fished out of the East River, Molly fears it's the missing society girl. Then Molly's sometime beau, police captain Daniel Sullivan, reveals that another corpse may be the girl's scalawag lover, Mike Kelly. But Molly has to know their identities for certain. Now as threads of passion and greed weave a tapestry of violence, Molly descends into the underworld of the gangs of New York. It's no place for a lady, and even a scrappy Irish lass may need more than her street smarts to get the truth...and get out alive.
"Engaging." -"Publishers Weekly
Annotation:
This is the third mystery to feature Molly Murphy, a female detective living and working in early 1900s New York City. Here Molly is mistaken for a prostitute, works undercover in a sweatshop, and searches for an Englishman's missing daughter.
