These two enterprising young women soon find themselves embroiled in a series of mysterious cases, shadowing blackmailers and bigamists, and investigating the perplexing history of a wealthy young woman who seems determined to wipe out her past. And it's not long before they stumble across an unsolved murder. But the dead don't stay dead long in historic York. As the 'phoney war' draws to a close, and the sky above the soaring twin towers of the twelfth century Minster darkens with menace, Jemma learns that even she is not above suspicion in wartime Britain." -- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Women private investigators $v Fiction. $9 273858 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z England $v Fiction. $9 210182 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. $9 263322 651 0 $a York (England) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $v Fiction. $9 199659 655 0 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $9 802168 655 0 $a Historical fiction. $9 802185 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230425010532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CB3D352300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
