Boomtown San Diego, in 1888, erupts in murder by the retired Marshal and hero of the O.K. Corral, Wyatt Earp. What's really going on behind this murder? Can you find who's responsible when others can't? "Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commercial sexual exploitation. Globally, an estimated 71% of enslaved people are women and girls, while men and boys account for 29%." These stats come from 2021 around the world.However, this practice began in the Nineteenth Century, and in boomtowns across the West women were being used to make great profits for those in the community reaping money from the exploitation of sex sold to hard-working men, who usually outnumbered the female population 5-1 during the Gold and Silver Mining Era. This sixth mystery of the Portia of the Pacific series The Dancing Murders delves into a case that, at first, seems to involve legal prostitution madams in San Diego, but it soon becomes a much wider, and more complex mystery about whom is actually benefiting the most from these businesses and why. Several major historical characters are used by Musgrave to weave into his plot, including the "boomtown vagabonds," Wyatt Berry-Stapp Earp and his common law wife, Josephine Marcus Earp; Ida Bailey, notorious madam of the Stingaree district's Canary Cottage; the first mayor of San Diego, William Jefferson Hunsaker, who used to be Earp's attorney back in Tombstone, Arizona. With an extremely unique frame, Musgrave allows the reader to first explore the suspects and the issues through five chapters of prologue. Then, in a very Kurosawa-type twist, as in Rashomon, the reader/viewer gets to explore the psyches of the four main suspects, in chronological progression. However, deep within these characters, in their first-person narratives, lies the underlying truth of this entire mystery and how it will explode into the plot for the seventh mystery in this popular series.
