Description
A fiercely independent woman looks into the murder of a working girl in 1919 Alaska in this "excellent" series debut (Mystery Scene).
There's many who feel the Alaska Territory is no place for a woman on her own. But Charlotte Brody, suffragette and journalist, has never let public opinion dictate her life choices. She's come to the frontier town of Cordova, where her brother Michael practices medicine, for the same reason many come to Alaska—to start over.
Cordova is gradually getting civilized, but the town is still rougher than Charlotte imagined. And when a local prostitute—one of the working girls her brother has been treating—is found murdered, Charlotte learns firsthand how brutal the frontier can be. Although the town may not consider the death of a prostitute worthy of investigation, Charlotte's feminist beliefs motivate her to seek justice for the woman. And there's something else—the woman was hiding a secret, one that reminds Charlotte of her own painful past.
As Charlotte searches for answers, she soon finds her own life in danger from a cold-blooded killer desperate to keep dark secrets from seeing the light of day...

Set in 1919, this tepid first in a new historical series from Pegau (Rulebreaker) takes journalist and suffragette Charlotte Brody from Yonkers, N.Y., to Cordova, Alaska Territory, where she hopes to write a series of articles for the Modern Woman Review about frontier life, but she finds that her liberal views set her apart. Since Charlotte’s doctor brother, Michael Brody, lives in Cordova, she quickly meets such important locals as the Reverend Samuel Bartlett and his daughter, Ruth, who’s engaged to Michael. When prostitute Darcy Dugan is beaten to death outside Charlotte’s boarding-house window, Charlotte talks to Darcy’s friends and Miss Brigit O’Brien, Darcy’s employer, in an effort to solve the crime. Handsome deputy James Eddington urges caution, and Charlotte indeed soon learns that uncovering personal secrets in Alaska, where people come to start over, can be dangerous. Against a colorful backdrop, the action builds to a predictable conclusion. Agent: Natalie Lakosil, Bradford Literary Agency.
