When facing injustice, the residents of nineteenth-
century
New York City’s tenements turn to midwife Sarah Brandt
and
Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to protect their rights.
Now, as the Edgar® and Agatha Award–nominated series
continues, the two must track down a cruel criminal
preying
on the hopes and dreams of innocent women…
A Gaslight Mystery
Frank Malloy has never known any life other than that of
a
cop, but his newfound inheritance threatens his position
within his department. While trying to keep both his
relationship with Sarah and his fortune under wraps, he’s
assigned to a new case—finding a missing young woman for
her
worried father, Henry Livingston.
It seems the girl had been responding to “lonely hearts”
ads
in the paper for months before she disappeared. Her
father
thinks that she’s eloped with a deceptive stranger, but
Malloy fears the worst, knowing that the grifters who
place
such ads often do much more than simply abscond with
their
victims. But as Sarah and Malloy delve deeper into a
twisted
plot targeting the city’s single women, it’s their
partnership—both professional and private—that winds up
in
the greatest peril…
