This is part of an excellent series about a young Irish imigrant woman who makes her way to New York, finds and loses love, and despite lots of odds against her, becomes a private investigator.
In this installment, she is asked by her former lover and current heart throb Daniel Sullivan of the New York City police department to take a job as a maid in the home of a New York state senator. The senator's wife, stricken with grief at the kidnapping and presumed death of her son some years earlier, has hired spiritualists--two sisters--to make contact with her son. Investigator Molly Murphy must decide whether the women are fakes. But she can't help digging into the kidnapping itself, and that's where her troubles begin.
There's an astounding bit of history in this series. It depicts turn-of-the-century New York in all its interesting faces.
