Synopsis

When midwife Sarah and detective Frank Malloy’s friend and new partner Gino Donatelli is accused
of murder, Frank and Sarah must catch the killer to keep Gino alive, in this enthralling new novel in the
USA Today bestselling Gaslight Mystery series. …

A young woman is missing in the upper Manhattan neighborhood called Italian Harlem, and everyone knows
who’s responsible—the Black Hand, a notorious group known for terrorizing their own community with violence and
kidnappings. Gino and Frank set out to learn more about the disreputable gang and soon find a lead: a saloon-owning
gangster named Nunzio Esposito.

Gino hates that a fellow immigrant would stoop so low and decides to confront his wayward countryman. But
he quickly discovers the man can’t be reasoned with—because he’s been murdered. The police have only one suspect:
Gino Donatelli.

Frank and Sarah know Gino is no killer, but someone has pulled out all the stops to make it look like he is guilty.
They also must now face the Black Hand, who are honor bound to avenge the death of one of their own.

With evidence mounting against their friend and a group of bad guys out for blood, Sarah and Frank race to
unravel a treacherous plot before Gino’s time runs out. …
