Scandal rocks Depression-era New York while a mayor's aide pursues her dark past in a mystery full of colorful characters and rich historical flavor (Publishers Weekly).
November 1936. Lane Sanders steps away from her whirlwind job at City Hall to confront the nightmares still haunting her hometown of Rochester, Michigan. Years ago, her parents were brutally murdered, leaving Lane with only scattered memories-and one vivid clue: a solid gold pawn piece. That single relic now ties her family's tragedy to a mystery unraveling in Manhattan.
Back in New York, panic spreads when a respected banker vanishes, threatening to collapse an already fragile financial system-and drag down Lane's boss, Mayor Fiorello Fio La Guardia. Fio's efforts to restore order pit him against an old enemy determined to end his mayoral career... and his life.
Caught between past and present, Lane must uncover the truth before her enemies destroy everything she loves. But as the investigation awakens darker instincts she thought long buried, she wonders: can she forge a brighter future for the city, or is history destined to repeat itself?
The Gold Pawn-an Agatha Award Nominee for Best Historical Novel and a Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award Nominee-is a glittering Art Deco mystery perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Susan Elia MacNeal.
