Description

Embarking on a cross-country journey with her young son, Molly can't fathom what's in store for her, but she knows it might be dangerous—in fact, it might put all of their lives at risk, in Rhys Bowen's Time of Fog and Fire.
Molly Murphy Sullivan's husband Daniel, a police captain in turn-of-the-century New York City, is in a precarious position. The new police commissioner wants him off the force altogether. So when Daniel's offered an assignment from John Wilkie, head of the secret service, he's eager to accept.
Molly can't draw any details of the assignment out of him, even where he'll be working. But when she spots him in San Francisco during a movie news segment, she starts to wonder if he's in even more danger than she had first believed. And then she receives a strange and cryptic letter from him, leading her to conclude that he wants her to join him in San Francisco. Molly knows that if Daniel's turning to her rather than John Wilkie or his contacts in the police force, something must have gone terribly wrong. What can she do for him that the police can't? Especially when she doesn't even know what his assignment is?

        Contrivances undermine the plot of Bowen’s 16th Molly Murphy whodunit (after 2015’s Away in a Manger). In 1906, the refusal of Molly’s husband, NYPD Capt. Daniel Sullivan, to go along to get along has earned him the distrust of his corrupt superiors. Fortunately, the head of the Secret Service, John Wilkie, offers him a covert mission working for President Theodore Roosevelt. While Daniel is in Washington, D.C., Molly meets Rose Endicott, whose husband is also away on business. Rose is stunned to spot her husband in a moving picture filmed in San Francisco, and when Molly accompanies her to the theater to see for herself, she ends up spotting Daniel in the film as well. After Molly receives a coded letter from Daniel requesting her presence, she travels across the country, accompanied by her toddler, to help him. Implausible developments make this a weak installment, which displays little of Bowen’s usual imagination and skill. Agent: Meg Ruley, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

        An amateur sleuth goes the extra mile to aid her police officer husband. Capt. Daniel Sullivan is too honest to suit the New York police department of 1906, so he jumps at the chance of doing a special job for John Wilkie, head of the U.S. Secret Service, that could lead to a long-term appointment. Molly Murphy Sullivan has no great love for Wilkie, who dismisses her considerable sleuthing skills, but she recognizes an excellent opportunity for Daniel, who goes off to Washington, giving her no clue what his job might be. In his absence, socialite Mrs. Endicott shows Molly a motion picture that depicts her husband, whose business is all on the East Coast, at a hotel in San Francisco and shows Daniel in the background. Molly is surprised, especially when she receives a strange letter from Daniel which she reads as an appeal for her to go to San Francisco. Leaving her ward with her two closest friends, she and her young son, Liam, catch the train west, agreeing to look for Endicott as well. The trip is made more pleasant by Mr. Paxton, an employee of the Metropolitan Opera who's going west to smooth things for the company members who will be singing with the great Enrico Caruso. Upon arriving, Molly goes to the police to find Daniel--only to be told that he fell off a cliff and was just buried. Molly seems poised to make some startling discoveries when the San Francisco earthquake and an ensuing fire put her and Liam in a life-threatening situation that will take all her skills to survive. Mystery takes a back seat to history in Molly's 16th adventure (Away in a Manger, 2015, etc.), in which real-life tragedies jostle with lucky escapes for our heroine.

        NYPD Captain Daniel Sullivan, facing unjust criticism from his ranks in early 1906, takes a top-secret mission from the president, delivered to him by the head of the Secret Service. The job is so secret that he keeps his wifethe former Molly Murphy, who headed her own detective agency before marryingin the dark and at home with their 18-month-old son, Liam. But Molly sees Daniel in a movie newsreel from San Francisco, spotlighting the pending visit of famed opera singer Enrico Caruso; then she receives a strange letter from her husband that she can interpret only as a request to join him. So, fearing that Daniel is in danger, she takes Liam and heads west, aided in her travels by a Metropolitan Opera administrator whom she chances to meet on the train. Fortunately, Molly is both plucky and resourceful, traits that serve her well when she's faced with tragic news and natural disaster, plus the occasional murder and instance of gross corruption. Molly shines once again in this sixteenth entry in an appealing series that foretells changes ahead for the Sullivan family.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
