    About this series

    Days before the Pearl Harbor attack plunges the U.S. into World War II, private investigator Maggie Sullivan is hired to find a vanished engineer and missing data in Dayton, Ohio. Has Gil Tremain been kidnapped, or has he turned traitor — to his employer and maybe his country?

    As Maggie starts to trace his last movements, an intruder in Tremain’s apartment bashes her over the head, and kills a woman as he flees. Thugs try to abduct Tremain’s daughter.  There’s an ugly secret in Tremain’s past which his ex-wife wants to keep hidden.  And the men who hired Maggie aren’t leveling with her.

    Meanwhile, a rival P.I. who once stole a case of Maggie’s suddenly wants her to work for him. A flamboyant woman from the past of an aging cop friend may be involved. Most chilling of all, Maggie’s poking attracts the attention of a local crime kingpin.

    The attack in Hawaii presses every cop in the city into service safeguarding manufacturing and research facilities.  People grapple with new uncertainty, and fear the mainland itself may be bombed. Amidst it all, and alone, Maggie fights to save a man who has now become a liability to his captors.

      Tea with two spinsters thrusts 1940s private investigator Maggie Sullivan into an explosive mix of murder, political rivalries and family secrets. Pursuing their case means risking not only her life, but her detective license. The Vanhorn sisters want her to learn the fate of their father, who vanished more than a quarter century earlier in Dayton, Ohio’s, catastrophic 1913 flood. They believe he was murdered. They think they know the killer. But before Maggie can question the suspect, he winds up dead. With a nip of gin to cheer her and a Smith & Wesson for company, Maggie follows a trail all but obliterated by time. It leads her to a local politician with bigger ambitions — and possibly secrets to hide. It takes her into dime stores, cheap hotels, and a violent ambush by men wearing brass knuckles. A determined cop wages a wily campaign to win her affections. A rag-tag newsboy pushes to be her assistant. As crimes of the past explode in the present, Maggie fights foes who must destroy her to destroy each other.

      When a man offers 1940s private investigator Maggie Sullivan twice her usual fee to look into a "possible" jewelry theft from his hotel safe, she’s skeptical — until a maid’s body tumbles out of a trash can and a jeweler known for high quality fakes is murdered. Does a hotel guest who vanished without a trace hold a piece of the puzzle in this fourth novel in the author's historical mystery series? Or does it have to do with the Polish count and his family fleeing the start of World War Two in Europe? Could the cops be right that it’s all a trick devised by Maggie's client? More at ease in Dayton, Ohio’s, streets and alleyways than in the posh Hotel Canterbury, and chafing under the need to hide her true occupation, the scrappy detective threads her way through an unfamiliar array of suspects: Hollywood luminaries in town for a hush-hush project; an international Lothario whose shady local past she unearths; the count’s embittered valet. Meanwhile, preparations for a visit by FDR preoccupy the city’s police. The Irish cop who long has wooed Maggie suddenly departs for Chicago. Alone and bruised, Maggie faces adversaries whose motives stun her... and a killer who will stop at nothing.
