"The latest action-packed installment in the Nero Award-winning Pentecost & Parker Mystery series follows Lillian and Will tracking the suspicious disappearance of a woman who might have known too much"-- Vera Bodine, an elderly shut-in with an exceptional memory, has gone missing. Detective Lillian Pentecost and her assistant Willowjean "Will" Parker have been hired to track her down. But the New York City of 1947 can be a dangerous place, and there's no shortage of people who might like to get ahold of what's in Bodine's head. As circumstances conspire to pull both investigators away from the case, the pair will have to go nose-to-nose with murderous gangsters, make deals with conniving federal agents, confront Nazi spies, and bend their own ethical rules to the point of breaking... before time runs out for everyone. -- adapted from jacket
