EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT...
In
the four years since her husband’s death, midwife Sarah Brandt has become an
angel of mercy in the tenements of turn-of-the-century New York, helping the
less fortunate bring new life into the world—and, with Detective Sergeant Frank
Malloy, seeing that justice is done for them. Now, in the latest novel in the
Edgar®-nominated series, Sarah finds justice herself…
Out
of his affection for Sarah, Malloy has taken up the task of solving the murder
of Dr. Tom Brandt. The odds of finding reliable witnesses and evidence after
four years are slim, but with the assistance of Sarah’s wealthy father, Malloy
has unlimited resources at his disposal—including Pinkerton agents, answerable
only to him.
Malloy discovers that Dr. Brandt was involved in the treatment
of several dangerously delusional women. His suspicion is that the doctor’s
unsuccessful efforts at curing these patients led their families to question
Brandt’s methods—and ethics. Then to seek vengeance against
him...
It’s a good, solid theory, and Malloy has several suspects. But
when he finally discovers what he believes to be the truth, the shocking
revelation may destroy Sarah—and Malloy’s hopes for any future with her…
