For the Love of Mike
vonRhys Bowen
Genres: Thriller
' Delightful... as ever, Bowen does a splendid job of capturing the flavour of early twentieth-century New York and bringing to life its warm and human inhabitants .' Publishers Weekly No job for a lady... Fashion can be murder for Molly Murphy! Having inherited the cases of her deceased mentor Paddy Reilly, private investigator Molly Murphy is following philandering husbands, tracking down runaway debutantes and working in a sweatshop to discover who is purloining dress designs. None of these jobs seem very dangerous... at first. But when a woman's body is fished out of the East River, Molly fears it is the missing society girl everyone is talking about. Then Molly's sometime beau, police captain Daniel Sullivan, reveals that another corpse may be the girl's cheating lover, Mike Kelly. As the threads of passion and greed weave a vivid tapestry of violence, Molly must descend into the underworld of the gangs of New York - only to realise that she may need more than her street smart to get to the truth... and get out alive. ' An evocative trip through Old New York... in the company of Irish immigrant Molly Murphy, a spirited and appealing guide. ' SJ Rozan, author of Winter and Night ' Irish humour and gritty determination... with charm and optimism .' Anne Perry ' Molly grows ever more engaging against a vibrant background of New York's dark side at the turn of the century .' Kirkus Reviews
