About this ebook
An aspiring actress and part-time detective must play it cool when her boss turns up dead in this historical mystery debut set in WWII-era NYC.
It’s 1943, and the war raging across the pond seems far away. But for aspiring actress Rosie Winter, New York City is another combat zone, what with food rationing, frequent blackouts, and a boyfriend she hasn’t heard from since he enlisted in the navy. Now with rent due and no acting roles in sight, Rosie grabs a part-time job at a seamy detective agency—where chasing cheating spouses is only the beginning . . .
When her boss turns up dead, Rosie finds herself caught up in a high society mystery, mingling with mobsters and searching for a notorious missing script. Maybe she has no crime-fighting experience—but Rosie certainly knows how to play the part. No matter how the war against Miss Winter turns out, it’s not going to end with her surrender!
