As the Great Depression loosens its grip on New York City, Mayor La Guardia and his team face their most dangerous foe yet in the fight against organized crime…
Lane Sanders and her fiery boss, Mayor Fiorello “Fio” La Guardia, have kept New York’s underground conspiracies at bay—until a seemingly harmless pinball racket claims the life of a trusted ally. The murder signals the rebirth of a familiar crime network, one with tentacles reaching far beyond Manhattan.
Determined to stop the syndicate before it spreads across Europe, Lane sets sail for London—the city where her parents began the undercover work that led to their tragic deaths. This time she won’t face the ghosts of her past alone. Finn Brodie joins her, determined to untangle his own family’s dark secrets—even as a devious sibling scheme plays out against the backdrop of Orson Welles’s controversial Voodoo Macbeth.
As Lane follows the trail of a dazzling pearl dagger, she realizes it may hold the ultimate clue. But with terrors from past and present converging, she’ll need to embrace her own power—beautiful and dangerous—if she hopes to survive.
The Pearl Dagger is a glittering Art Deco mystery brimming with international intrigue, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Susan Elia MacNeal.
