β¦ Synopsis
The brutal hit-skip death of a young woman is written off as an accident until 1940s private investigator Maggie Sullivan finds signs pointing to murder. Charlotte Littlefield, a girl with βa pastβ was about to marry into one of Dayton, Ohioβs, most prominent families and was staying with her future in-laws to get better acquainted and smooth her rough edges. Did someone in the household object to her upcoming union? A frightened, incoherent phone call made moments before she fled to her death suggests another possibility: Charlotte had seen β or heard β something she shouldnβt have.
Maggie picks her way through a mansion filled with suspects. One wing houses a laboratory where the head of the family and his staff work on a hush-hush project which the War Department eagerly awaits as the war in Europe nears its end. Upstairs, his once-vibrant wife languishes in the aftermath of polio. Their three grown children are a tangle of resentments, jealousy and anger.
A second murder raises the specter of someone targeting the family, or one of its members. Undeterred by a black eye from an attack, Maggie tracks down clues in high-class brothels, burlesque theaters, bars and ivy trellises. Before she can use her last bit of proof, she finds herself in a harrowing cat-and-mouse chase with a killer through surroundings where a misstep will snuff out dozens of lives.
