Riassunto

In 1911, Julia Nye works as a typist—and more—for the St. Louis Police Department. She is also lending her efforts and reputation to the local chapter of the Women’s Trade Union League, which is fighting for better working conditions. When a member of the WTUL, one of Julia’s new friends, is murdered, Julia expects to join the police in their investigation.But her boss and mentor, Chief Wright, is out of town, and the newly-appointed Chief of Detectives is opposed to new-fangled policing in general and to the presence of a woman in the department in particular. He gives Julia an ultimatum: leave the investigating to the men or lose her job, the position that has meant so much to her.And the decision will have consequences, as the Chief of Detectives arrests the brother of a WTUL immigrant woman on prejudice as much as on evidence. Julia has decisions to make, a new marriage to balance, and an investigation to follow to a dangerous confrontation.

Informazioni sull'autore

Jo Allison is the award-winning author of the Julia Nye Mystery Series and related short stories. The novels are set in 1910s St. Louis and highlight a bold heroine fighting the issues and prejudices of the day. The third book in the series, Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl, was judged Best Self-Published Novel by the James River Writers (Virginia) in 2016. The Greater St. Louis Area Sisters in Crime chapter in 2015 highlighted the first two books in the series, The Good Old Summertime and St. Louie Slow Drag. Two pieces of Allison’s academic work, under her scholarly name, Linda Harris Dobkins, deal with women and suffrage in St. Louis. The second of those pieces won the Neth Award for 2014-15 from the State Historical Society of Missouri. Allison drives family and librarians crazy with the depth of her research on the city and on the time period, but delights readers who like their mysteries historical. She maintains a web page that highlights the setting at 1910-stlouis-by-jallison.com. For more information, see joallisonauthor.com and oldunderwoodpublish.com.
