The author of Murder on Amsterdam Avenue returns
to nineteenth-century New York City to find Christmas in
the
air, a police detective and a midwife with love in their
hearts, and a wealthy newlywed with blood on her
hands…
Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy and Sarah
Brandt are not the only ones who have recently tied the
knot. Family friend Mrs. O’Neill was delighted when her
daughter Una wed the seemingly wealthy and charming
Randolph
Pollock. She didn’t wonder why such an affluent man would
want to marry a poor Irish girl, no matter how pretty she
was. But now Mrs. O’Neill has a problem.
Pollock’s
servants have found their employer bludgeoned to death with
Una cradling his body. Rendered mute by the horror of her
husband’s death, Una cannot explain what happened, so the
police have charged her with murder and locked her away in
the Tombs to await trial.
Mrs. O’Neill would like
Frank to investigate the case and save Una, yet with Frank
and Sarah still on their honeymoon, it’s up to the other
members of their newly formed household to do some
detective
work. But solving the mystery behind Pollock’s death means
first discovering the truth about who he really is…
