Riassunto

“Wonderful. . . a richly detailed story that quite simply gets to your heart.” -- Michael Connelly, bestselling authorIt's 1939. Halfway around the world, war has begun, but for Dorie Lennox, a newly-minted private eye on her first tail, danger is more immediate. The dark streets of Kansas City offer swing music, fast cars, gangsters, and the chance to forget about the Depression and her own murky past. But first she must conquer her fears and save a woman on a bridge high above the muddy Missouri. Dorie is thrown into a quickly unraveling scam that offers salvation to few — and misery to plenty — in the high stakes world of machine politics and desperation deals.The landscape of America and the homefront of World War II are evoked in a thoughtful mystery that lingers for the force of characters and keen sharpness of a slice of history seen through the perceptive, compassionate eyes of Dorie Lennox.Read Dorie’s next adventure in Sweet and Lowdown.“One O’Clock Jump is like a time capsule, transporting a tale of murder, greed, and intrigue from vintage Kansas City into the present day.” — Sue Grafton, bestselling author of 'A is for Alibi.'“McClendon debuts an excellent historical series, with evocative period dialogue and a storyline full of surprises.” — Publishers Weekly"A convincing re-creation of time, place, and a hard-nosed, emotionally scarred heroine." -- Library Journal"Lise McClendon's complex, cleverly crafted mystery keeps reader's attention throughout the novel. A new winning series that will please historical mystery fans."-- Harriet Klausner
