No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A .38, a nip of gin and sensational legs get Depression-era private investigator Maggie Sullivan out of most scrapes β until a stranger threatens to bust her nose, sheβs hauled in on suspicion of his murder and she finds herself in the cross-hairs of a sadistic crime boss.
Matching wits against dangerous men, with bits of information from a dime store waitress, a ragged newsboy and the girls at her rooming house, Maggie follows a path that leaves her drugged, in her DeSoto in a ditch.
A gunman puts a bullet through Maggieβs hat. Her shutterbug pal on the evening paper warns her off. A new cop whose presence unsettles her thinks sheβs crooked. Before she finds all the answers she needs, she faces a half-crazed man with a gun, and a far more lethal point-blank killer.
If you like Robert B. Parker's hard boiled Spencer series and strong women sleuths, don't miss this one-of-a-kind Ohio detective from a time in United States history when dames wore hats -- but seldom a Smith & Wesson.
