    About this series

    As the Great Depression loosens its grip on New York City, Mayor La Guardia and his team meet their greatest foe in the fight against organized crime …

    Lane Sanders and her fiery boss, Mayor Fiorello “Fio” La Guardia have managed to contain the explosive underground conspiracies of New York’s most sinister schemers. But after a seemingly harmless pinball racket claims the life of a trusted ally, a new ringleader signals the rebirth of an all-too-familiar crime network at home and across the pond …

    Spurred on by the possibility of a violent syndicate spreading like wildfire through Europe, Lane sets sail for London—the city where her parents began the undercover work that led to their tragic undoing. And this time, she won’t chase down childhood nightmares without Finn Brodie, who vows to dispel his own difficult secrets abroad …

    While Finn confronts a devious sibling’s plot that echoes Orson Welles’s Voodoo Macbeth, Lane discovers that a dazzling pearl dagger may wield the ultimate clue to guide their hunt for justice on two sides of the ocean. With terrors from the past and present converging, Lane can’t save herself unless she starts believing that, like her weapon of choice, she also has the power to be both beautiful and dangerous.

      Scandal rocks Depression Era New York while a Mayor’s aide pursues her dark past in a mystery full of “colorful characters and rich historical flavor” (Publishers Weekly). November, 1936. Lane Sanders breaks away from her busy job at City Hall to confront childhood nightmares still lingering in Rochester, Michigan. An unknown assailant left Lane with scattered memories after viciously murdering her parents. But one memory of a solid gold pawn piece remains—and with it lies a startling connection between the midwestern tragedy and a current mystery haunting the Big Apple.   Meanwhile, panic grips Manhattan after a respected banker disappears, threatening the already crippled financial industry—not to mention the pristine reputation of Lane’s boss, Mayor Fiorello “Fio” La Guardia. Fio’s fight to restore order leads him into conflict with a familiar foe intent on ending his mayoral term—and his life.   Now it’s up to Lane to both silence old ghosts and derail present-day schemes. But when the investigation awakens a darker side of her own nature, will she—and the city she loves—still forge ahead into a prosperous new age? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?    Agatha Award—Best Historical Novel Nominee Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award Nominee
