People in Harlem's Little Italy are being kidnapped by a group called the Black Hand and ransomed back to their families. Private Detectives Frank Malloy and Gino Donatelli are hired to quietly find Miss Jane Harding who was kidnapped off the streets. Their investigation eventually leads them to a dead body where Gino is arrested for the murder. It's up to Frank, along with Sarah and Maeve, to prove Gino didn't kill anyone by finding the real killer.
I was so happy to get the latest book in the Gaslight Mystery series. It's nice to be back with Frank and Sarah, solving mysteries where the police either ignore the crime or arrest the first possible suspect. In this one women and children are being kidnapped and ransomed. Frank and Gino work to get the latest victim back before her disappearance becomes general knowledge and ruins her reputation. I liked the mystery even though I guessed the killer early in the book. And I loved the end of the story where Maeve gets the spotlight. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
