This book takes place in 1884 in New York City.  Callie is an innocent who is so naive that, as the old saying goes, not only does she not know anything...she doesn't even suspect anything.  So when a man tells her he was her father's friend and then hires her to translate some of his collection of books from French to English, she is unfamiliar with the words and does not realize she is dealing with pornography.Of course, she is hard at work on the collection when a policeman comes around responding to tips that there were some shady things going on in this house.  He finds it difficult to believe that  this lovely young woman could be part of those shady things. I enjoyed reading this book.
