Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A desperate girl. A dead matron. A detective with secrets of his own.
It's Chicago, 1935, and ever since the Crash and her father's subsequent suicide, twenty-year-old Henrietta Von Harmon has been left to care for her antagonistic mother and seven younger siblings. In desperation, Henrietta takes a job as a taxi dancer at a local dance hall. Just as she's learning to navigate this dangerous new world, however, the floor matron turns up dead.
When the aloof Inspector Clive Howard arrives to investigate, he persuades Henrietta to go undercoverâplunging her deeper into Chicago's gritty underworld. As Henrietta and the impenetrable Inspector reluctantly join forces, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways they didn't expect.
But with a killer still on the loose and their growing attraction threatening to compromise everything, can they unmask the murderer before Henrietta becomes the next victim?
