“This first novel in a major new series set in New York City during World War II
features a female gumshoe who’s a little bit Myrna Loy and a little bit Philip
Marlowe’s younger sister–but very much her own woman. Funny, tender,
historically fascinating, This Dame for Hire has something for mystery readers
of every kind.”
