November 1936. Mayor La Guardia’s
political future buckles under a missing persons case in New York
City. Simultaneously, Lane unravels devastating secrets in the
outskirts of Detroit. As two crimes converge, judging friends from
enemies can be a dangerous game . . .
Finally summoning the courage to face the past,
Lane Sanders breaks away from her busy job at City Hall to confront
childhood nightmares in Rochester, Michigan. An unknown assailant
left Lane with scattered memories after viciously murdering her
parents. However, one memory of a dazzling 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, fears climb in Manhattan after the
disappearance of a respected banker and family friend threatens the
crippled financial industry and the pristine reputation of Lane’s
virtuous boss, Mayor Fiorello “Fio” La Guardia. Fio’s fight to
restore order leads him into more trouble as he meets a familiar foe
intent on ending his mayoral term—and his life . . .
Guided by overseas telegrams from the man she loves
and painful memories, only Lane can silence old ghosts and derail
present-day schemes. But when the investigation awakens a darker side
of her own nature, will she and New York City’s most prominent
movers and shakers still forge ahead into a prosperous new age . . .
or is history doomed to repeat itself?
Review: I read The Silver Gun on a previous book tour, so I was super excited to get the chance to read the next book in this series.
This book did not disappoint.
If you like your historical mysteries, this series is definitely one you shouldn't miss. Lane is a great character and the addition of NYC mayor, Fio La Guardia makes for a great read.
Lane is still working to understand her own parent's murders years ago. so this adds some time spent in Michigan.
This was an absolutely wonderful read!
