The author of Murder on Amsterdam Avenue returns to nineteenth-century New York City to find Christmas in the air, a police detective and a midwife with love in their hearts, and a wealthy newlywed with blood on her handsβ¦
Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt are not the only ones who have recently tied the knot. Family friend Mrs. OβNeill was delighted when her daughter Una wed the seemingly wealthy and charming Randolph Pollock. She didnβt wonder why such an affluent man would want to marry a poor Irish girl, no matter how pretty she was. But now Mrs. OβNeill has a problem.
Pollockβs servants have found their employer bludgeoned to death with Una cradling his body. Rendered mute by the horror of her husbandβs death, Una cannot explain what happened, so the police have charged her with murder and locked her away in the Tombs to await trial.
Mrs. OβNeill would like Frank to investigate the case and save Una, yet with Frank and Sarah still on their honeymoon, itβs up to the other members of their newly formed household to do some detective work. But solving the mystery behind Pollockβs death means first discovering the truth about who he really isβ¦
