When Mary proves her acumen as a sleuth, she is hired by the Brooklyn police department as the city s first female policewoman to solve the crime. The top brass of the department expect her to fail, but Mary has other plans. As she delves into the mystery, she finds herself questioning the likes of J. P. Morgan, Thomas Edison, and Nikola Tesla. Mary soon discovers the key to solving the case goes well beyond finding a murderer and depends on her ability to unearth the machinations of the city s most prominent and respected public figures, men who will go to great lengths to protect their secrets.
