Goodbye, Tootsie

Mystery and Romance in 1920s Manhattan...

New York City, 1925

It's after midnight on New Year's Day, and the richest girl in America has just fallen to her death from the top floor of the posh Cleveland Hotel in Manhattan.

When Detective Sean Costigan arrives at the scene, he learns it's the day after Abigail Welles's twenty-first birthday—the day she inherited a family fortune. It's not the kind of coincidence that warms a detective's heart. Neither is the fact that she wasn't alone when she fell. Her new husband, Long Island party boy Nick Welles, lies incoherent in the master bedroom.

Sean's girl, tabloid reporter Trixie Frank, is the first newshound on the scene. It's a bigger scoop than she dreamed. The young heiress's death will make national headlines. More importantly, this story hits close to home. And heart. The victim's husband is Trixie's ex-fiancé.

When Sean focuses on Nick as his prime suspect, Trixie is certain he's dead wrong. But will saving her first love from the hot seat prove fatal to her new romance?
