Daring Brooklyn detective Mary Handley teams up with Teddy Roosevelt to solve her husband’s murder, only to run afoul of nineteenth-century New York’s elite when she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy.
It’s December 1896, and after marrying a muckraking reporter, detective Mary Handley turns her focus from pursuing new cases to raising her newborn daughter. But when her husband turns up dead, Mary knows her next case must be solving his death. Harper was working on a big story—did it get him killed? She sets out to solve his murder, soon discovering that the investigation goes all the way to the top of the New York food chain.
Realizing she’s outgunned, Mary turns to the one person who might be able to help: Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. As the two dig deep into the underbelly of New York’s social scene, they uncover a sinister plot exploiting the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

      Narrator Cassandra Campbell delivers a story of sexual violence in 1890s Brooklyn that resonates with events of today. Detective Mary Handley Lloyd gets involved in the investigation of the drugging and rape of a 15-year-old girl by a group of high-society men. Not surprisingly, Mary's dogged pursuit of justice leads her into danger. Using a strong sense of timing and well-done expression, Campbell captivates listeners, keeping them riveted to the fast-moving story. Listeners will find themselves becoming just as furious as Mary, not only at the violence faced by women, but also by the way no one takes seriously the charges that lower-class women attempt to bring against upper-class men. A powerful listening experience. V.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
