One Fine Day

By Kitty Chandler

It was a simple job: assist the police in solving one murder. But there were pieces that didn't fit, traces that pointed to something worse, something bigger. And by the time all the answers were there, so was the imminent choice whether or not to let the bloated and decaying city die.

New Amsterdam came to life when the first colonists washed up on the beach and called themselves a community. In the several hundred years since it had died of disease, of genocide, of sloth and self-indulgence, rebuilding after each death and recovering a new personality on the foundations of the old. Now on the cusp of another death and rebirth, it has become an ailing city of cabals and conspiracies, tempers fraying and teeth on edge, and a handful of ordinary people drowning in their own lives who never expected to be on the front lines of this war.

Kitty Chandler

Kitty Chandler was born in the fair city of Washington DC and as a little girl discovered her grandmother's secret stash of mystery pulps and cozies and was lost forever. Raised and educated in two languages, she spent her childhood doing as little schoolwork and as much story writing as possible before wandering off to the lower reaches of Wisconsin to study anthropology, history, and whatever else came to mind. After a series of unfortunate career decisions she found herself back in the mountains again, where she curls up in her farmhouse with its castle walls and spends half of her time working at her family business. The other half of her time she spends writing or thinking about the writing she should be doing. She is owned by five cats and supported by an extremely tolerant boyfriend.
