The Case of the Rich Man’s Wife
by Millie Dynamite
Language: English
Categories: Fiction » Mystery » Hard Boiled
Content Rating: Older than 13
Theo Drummond was an oddity in the 1940s, a woman making her way in what was traditionally a man’s occupation. With the aid of a young intern, Aaron Foundling, they struggled to put the pieces together.
Was the Rich Man trying to help his wife or kill her? Was Theodora putting her and Aaron’s lives at risk, and if so, for what? A big payday was in the offing, but how much money could you spend if you were dead?
Enter the world of broads and mooks, where you can get your birds in a nest, and the joe’s always piping hot. Step back to when phone numbers had names, and cops would look the other way for five spot.
