title: The Case of the Mississippi River Murders
author: Hudson, Patricia
description: After years of living a boring and mundane existence, Jana is thrust into a life of danger, glamour and romance
  
   Jana Morgan has dreams. Big dreams. But it's 1935, and her desire to become a private investigator seems slim. After all, it's a man's world. At least, that's what her mother keeps telling her.
  
   Unfortunately, not much ever happens in the city of Alton, Illinois. That is, until the bodies of two women are discovered floating in the Mississippi River.
  
   It appears a serial killer is on the loose in the booming river town.
  
   When Collin Carothers requires her help, it's her chance to prove that she has what it takes.
   Jana is determined to catch the murderer at any cost, even if it means alienating the only man who understands her.
