Persephone Cole (Percy for short) is a female detective in early 1940s New York during World War II. There's great historic atmosphere (sweaty because it's non-air-conditioned summer) dealing with strange accidents in the theater district. She detects undercover as a manager who doesn't really know that much about managing, but she's right up there with detecting, including gun-handling. The nicely convoluted plot kept me guessing, and the ending was wholly satisfying. Definitely recommended for readers of historic mystery (with sassy women).
