About This Book
A Battered Bride, A Meddling Millionaire, and a Spiritualist with More Nerve than Sense…
—1924, Pasadena, California—
Daisy Gumm Majesty has faced plenty in her line of work as a fake spiritualist, but nothing like this. When her friend Flossie Buckingham arrives with Lily Bannister—a woman beaten to within an inch of her life—Daisy knows she has to help. Trouble is, Lily's louse of a husband is a law-abiding citizen by 1920s standards, and neither the police nor the church will intervene.
Enter Harold Kincaid, a wealthy San Marino bachelor who reluctantly agrees to hide Lily in his home while Daisy does what she does best—stir up trouble in the name of justice.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Pinkerton—Daisy's best (and wealthiest) client—is desperate to end her daughter's engagement to a fortune-hunting cad. But as Daisy juggles two impossible missions, she soon realizes the cases are more connected than anyone expected.
With human traffickers lurking in the shadows, a detective who's too stubborn for his own good, and society more concerned with decorum than decency, Daisy has her work cut out for her. Can she uncover the truth before Lily's husband comes knocking?
Alice Duncan spent years avoiding what she knew she should be doing—writing—by professionally folk dancing instead. Eventually, her muse won the battle, and she's been crafting engaging historical cozy mysteries ever since. Now a proud resident of Roswell, New Mexico, Alice enjoys the lack of smog and crowds while spoiling her beloved herd of wild dachshunds. Visit her at www.aliceduncan.net.
Don't miss a moment of the action with Daisy and her cadre of friends as they solve mysteries in 1920s Pasadena! Each story stands alone but is best enjoyed in order.
