War-time blackouts and U-boats that are skulking along the Atlantic seaboard brood over New York City late one August evening in 1943. Actress Jessica Minton dashes away from the added misery of play rehearsals that have gone terribly wrong into a familiar drug store, thinking the dinner counter her last refuge. It turns out to be anything but that! An attractive stranger, with whom she has a brief and mischievous exchange, abruptly takes off and leaves her with a mysterious package. When she realizes that only she can recognize the rightful owner, chronic do-gooder Jessica determines to take charge of that package, only to learn the truth of Oscar Wilde's warning that no good deed ever goes unpunished. Jessica is caught in a whirl of intrigue, murder, treachery, and treason, made even more dangerous by a suspicious boyfriend and her growing feelings for the stranger behind her predicament. With the support of her tart-tongued sister, her wise-aleck cat, and her own wits, pluck, and humor, Jessica tries to stay on top of a slippery espionage gambit that risks not only her life but the Allied cause. Suspense, romance, and adventure in the vein of Renee Patrick, Susan Elia MacNeal, Kathryn Miller Haines, and Rhys Bowen.
