The first novel in the Martha Beale historical mystery series.
Intrigue, passion and murder surround the suspicious disappearance of Philadelphia financier Lemuel Beale in the winter of 1842. Supposedly a victim of accidental drowning, he leaves a sinister legacy of political and financial scheming - and a trouble heiress, his daughter, Martha, his only child.
Amateur sleuth and cobbler Fulton Moon (yes, his nickname is Full Moon) encounters beautiful and sinister Lucinda Mathews. Lucy, wife of prominent florist Arthur Mathews, wants to escape an abusive husband and Moon only wants to help. It isn’t that
During the Christmas Season, servants Jane Meyers and Alfie Dawkins search for missing persons from opposite sides of the social spectrum: a homeless man and the Duke's son.
