Description
Scandal rocks Depression Era New York while a Mayor's aide pursues her dark past in a mystery full of "colorful characters and rich historical flavor" (Publishers Weekly).
November, 1936. Lane Sanders breaks away from her busy job at City Hall to confront childhood nightmares still lingering in Rochester, Michigan. An unknown assailant left Lane with scattered memories after viciously murdering her parents. But one memory of a solid gold pawn piece remains—and with it lies a startling connection between the midwestern tragedy and a current mystery haunting the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, panic grips Manhattan after a respected banker disappears, threatening the already crippled financial industry—not to mention the pristine reputation of Lane's boss, Mayor Fiorello "Fio" La Guardia. Fio's fight to restore order leads him into conflict with a familiar foe intent on ending his mayoral term—and his life.

Now it's up to Lane to both silence old ghosts and derail present-day schemes. But when the investigation awakens a darker side of her own nature, will she—and the city she loves—still forge ahead into a prosperous new age? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?

        August 27, 2018
        Colorful characters and rich historical flavor buoy Chandlar’s frothy second Art Deco mystery set in New York City (after 2017’s The Silver Gun). In 1936, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia asks his 23-year-old aide and sleuthing partner, Lane Sanders, to help find missing Manhattan Trust Bank president Ted Hambro before news of his absence causes nervous investors to withdraw their money. Meanwhile, Lane’s boyfriend, NYPD detective Finn Brodie, is in Europe evaluating the threat posed by the recently resurfaced Red Scroll Network—a crime syndicate originally created to capitalize upon the chaos of WWI. When clues surface linking the Red Scroll Network to Hambro’s disappearance and the unsolved murder of Lane’s parents 13 years earlier, she realizes that the time has finally come for her to return to her hometown of Rochester, Mich., and confront the mystery of her past. The narrative occasionally sags under the weight of florid descriptions, irrelevant anecdotes, and superfluous setup, but the complex central puzzle will keep readers turning the pages.
