Dear Readers:
Welcome to the world of Francesca Cahill, crime-solver
extraordinaire. Francesca is no ordinary heroine. She refuses
to bow to convention, wears her heart on her sleeve, and is determined
to right the ills and injustices of society/ Deadly love begins
Francesca's mad escapades when the neighbors' little boy is kidnapped
right out of his bed during a society ball. It is January 18,
1902. Francesca stumbles across the ransom note just as she meets
New York City's newly appointed police commissioner, Rick Bragg.
And Fracesca can no more stay out of this investigation than she
can stop herself from falling love with the city's determined
and powerful police commissioner. But little does she know that
on this singular night, he life will change forever.
Let me take you back in time to the lost, magical
world of turn-of-the-century New York City--where the glittering
mansions of society's elite are only footsteps away from the impoverished
back alleys of the city'sunderbelly--and into the heart of true
danger and even truer passion.
