Mystery Woman Sleuth

The year is 1954, and Paige Turner is a feisty young widow with Brenda Starr bravado and a fixation with following in Agatha Christie’s footsteps. Trouble is, she works like a dog at Daring Detective magazine and her lousy pun of a name has made her the butt of all office jokes. All she wants is to pen a memorable mystery, but first she needs a good story.

Enter the blonde corpse of twenty-four-year-old beauty Babs Comstock who’d had high hopes for the big screenβ€”until she was found with a Hopalong Cassidy jump rope wrapped around her neck. Now, Paige has to find a murderer and tell the tale that could make her writing careerβ€”or cut short her life.

"Paige Turner is the liveliest, most charming detective to emerge in crime fiction in a long time," raves Ann Waldron, author of The Princeton Mysteries.

"Prepare to be utterly charmed by the irrepressible Paige Turner, and take an enchanting ride back in time to New York City, circa 1954." -Dorothy Cannell

"A great idea well-executed-funny, fast, and suspenseful." - Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition
