About this ebook
A female journalist in early–twentieth century NYC uncovers a conspiracy to draw the US into WWI in this historical mystery series debut.
New York City, 1915. The Lusitania has just been sunk, and headlines about a shooting at J.P. Morgan’s mansion and the Great War are splashed across the front page of every newspaper. Capability “Kitty” Weeks would love nothing more than to report on the news of the day, but she’s stuck writing about fashion and society gossip over on the Ladies’ Page—until a man is murdered at a high society picnic on her beat.
Determined to prove her worth as a journalist, Kitty follows the trail wherever it leads. But she soon finds herself plunged into the midst of a wartime conspiracy that threatens to drag the US into the war overseas—and to disrupt the privileged life she has always known.
