Official synopsis Publisher
Match and despatch in one fell swoop . . .
Molly Murphy, now Molly Sullivan, and her new husband Daniel, a captain in the New York Police Department, have been invited to spend their honeymoon on the Rhode Island estate of Alderman Brian Hannan. It’s such a generous offer that Molly doesn’t entirely trust it, especially as Hannan is an extraordinarily ambitious man and wants Daniel’s advice on a private matter.
And then Hannan is found dead at the base of the cliffs overlooking the sea before he has even had a chance to welcome them. Molly’s suspicions are quickly justified and, as much as she wants to keep her promise to Daniel that she won’t do any more sleuthing now they are married, there isn’t much she can do once the chase is on!
‘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
‘Molly grows ever more engaging against a vibrant background of New York’s dark side at the turn of the century.’ Kirkus Reviews
