Pinkerton Agent Abigail MacKay’s spoiled sister, Madeleine, has run away from the family Brooklyn home to marry a dangerous suitor.
Scientist David Bartholomew’s previous wives have all died in mysterious circumstances, leaving him a great deal of money each time. Each marriage is in a different city, and he uses a different name – but the outcome is the same. This fact is known to Abigail, but not to Madeleine. The murderer is getting away with it because no doctor can find traces of foul play. How will she find Maddy and have David jailed for his crimes – and can she do it before it is too late?
Fate is on her side when Abigail learns Madeleine travelled on a train that The Innocents recently held up – they were the last ones to see her before she disappeared. Abigail must venture into their hideout at Ghost Canyon to speak with them and ask for their help. The unlikely trio work together once more for a common cause, all determined to discover how he does it and to stop David from killing again. Abigail must rescue her sister no matter what, she has already lost too many members of her family.
Sadly there are some noticeable editing issues which can distract the reader but these can easily be addressed by the Author. Overall, another great book in the series by C A Asbrey. I look forward to the next instalment!
I award 4 stars.
