Matching wits with her crush has never been more dangerous ...
It's the summer of 1955 and Philadelphia's newest private investigator, Story Smith, is hellbent on proving to the world that she has what it takes to solve cases as well, or better, than any male P.I. in town.
Her first case-dramatically solving the disappearance of a doctor's wife- put her in the national news. Now that she's barely had time to catch her breath, she finds herself investigating the murder of a socialite gunned down on an ordinary Tuesday morning while grooming her horse.
The victim's husband is the main suspect, and the victim's daughter hires Story to prove her father is innocent. But is he? And can Story prove it before he gets arrested-and before she gets herself killed? Because when a million-dollar life insurance policy surfaces, it changes everything, and brings Story's handsome competitor and secret crush, Steve Evans, into the picture. An increasingly dangerous and deadly picture with a cast of quirky suspects, including a maybe-for-real psychic medium, an elusive tarot card reader, a woman rumored to be related to the Jersey Devil, and the victim's glamorous and maybe-too-good-to-be-true best friend next door.
Once again, Story finds herself competing with Steve in a search for the truth, until someone else ends up dead, and the two private eyes must team up to survive.
