The Woman In Blue

David G. Johnson

Ever try finding a virtuous man in the Big Apple circa 1930s? A fool's errand, right? Well, Nick O'Brien is no fool. The war vet and former cop turned in his badge and then turned his back on the crooked criminal justice system. He's got a new mission: to be that good man in a bad city. With honesty and compassion, Nick hangs out the shingle of his own private detective agency to aid the victims of evil. He's out to crush corruption, case by case. When a mysterious beauty with a missing brother seeks his services, Nick finds himself working a real onion of a mystery, with each layer peeling away to reveal deeper levels of darkness, deception, and murder. No matter how deep he has to go, Nick will find out the truth and solve the enigma of The Woman in Blue.
