Mystery thrived while the twenties roared.
Jane Blackthorn has come to Fire, Nevada, for one simple reason: to disappear for a while.
With her wedding day approaching and her family's expectations closing in, the half-dead silver town seems like the perfect place to hide, breathe, and spend time with her beloved Uncle Jack. But Fire is not as quiet as it looks.
Jack and his mining partner are under pressure to sell their silver mine to a powerful Arizona conglomerate. At the same time, strange accidents are plaguing the mine-accidents the local miners blame on tommyknockers, the mischievous underground spirits said to haunt the tunnels.
Jane does not believe in ghostly miners.
She does, however, believe in greed, sabotage, and murder.
With the help of her sharp-witted college friend Bea Childe, Jane begins digging into the trouble beneath Fire's dusty streets. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the mine becomes-and if Jane cannot uncover the truth in time, the next accident may be no accident at all.
Death in a Low Place is the second book in the Jane Blackthorn 1920s Historical Mysteries, a Roaring Twenties mystery filled with old secrets, desert danger, mining-town superstition, and a clever heroine who refuses to be frightened away.
