The 'splendid genre-pushing' (People) Vera Kelly series returns in full force as our recently out-of-the-spy-game heroine finds herself traveling from Brooklyn to a sprawling countryside estate in the Caribbean in her first case as a private investigator.
When ex-CIA agent Vera Kelly loses her job and her girlfriend in a single day, she reluctantly goes into business as a private detective. Heartbroken and cash-strapped, she takes a case that dredges up dark memories and attracts dangerous characters from across the Cold War landscape. Before it's over, she'll chase a lost child through foster care and follow a trail of Dominican exiles to the Caribbean. Forever looking over her shoulder, she nearly misses what's right in front of her: her own desire for home, connection, and a new romance at the local bar.
In this exciting second installment of the Vera Kelly series, Rosalie Knecht challenges and deepens the Vera we love: a woman of sparkling wit, deep moral fiber, and martini-dry humor who knows how to follow a case even as she struggles to follow her heart.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Vera, outwardly cool but inwardly seething, makes for great company. Rosalie Knecht - proving it can be done - has created something truly original * Times (Crime Club) *
Unfolding in a persuasively evoked 1967, this smart, stylish mystery fizzes with wit and intrigue * Irish Times (Crime Book of the Year) *
Knecht writes crisply, with salt and sharp wit...a smart, intelligent mystery -- Declan Hughes * Irish Times *
Wonderfully sardonic yet compassionate heroine. Definitely a series to watch -- John Williams * Mail on Sunday *
A short, smart, rewarding detective novel with real heart * LoveReading *
