Mystery Historical
In this atmospheric historical mystery series debut, a courageous nurse and a war-scarred police detective in 1860s San Francisco champion the down-trodden and fight for justice β¦ After serving as a nurse in the Crimea, British-born Celia Davies left her privileged family for an impulsive marriage to a handsome Irishman. Patrick brought her to San Franciscoβs bustling shores but then disappeared and is now presumed dead.Β Determined to carry on, Celia partnered with her half-Chinese cousin Barbara and her opinionated housekeeper Addie to open a free medical clinic for women who have nowhere else to turn. But Celiaβs carefully constructed peace crumbles when one of her Chinese patients is found brutally murderedβ¦and Celiaβs hotheaded brother-in-law stands accused of the crime. A veteran of Americaβs civil war, detective Nicholas Greaves is intent on discovering the killer of the girl, whose ethnicity and gender render her as powerless in death as they did in life. Nicholasβs efforts are complicated by Celia, who has a knack for walking into dangerous situations that may lead to answersβ¦or get them both killed.Β For as their inquiries take them from Chinatownβs squalid back alleys to the Barbary Coastβs violent shipping docks to the cityβs gilded parlors, Celia and Nicholas begin to suspect that someone very close to them holds the key to a murderous conspiracyβ¦
