Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It's July 1936 and Toronto is under a record-breaking heat wave. Charlotte Frayne is the junior associate in a two-person private investigation firm, owned by T. Gilmore. Two events set the books plot in motion: an anti-Semitic hate letter is delivered to Gilmore, who up to now has not acknowledged his religion, and Hilliard Taylor, a veteran of the First World War requests the firms assistance in uncovering what he believes is systematic embezzlement of the Paradise Cafe, which he owns and operates with three other men, all of whom were prisoners of war. The two events, although seemingly completely unrelated, come together in this wonderful novel that brings to life characters who are as real to the reader as those of the Murdoch series. Anti-Semitism and murder in Toronto "the good" in the depths of the Great Depression provide a great historical background for this murder mystery that serves, as all Maureen Jennings books do, as canvas for fascinating character studies. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781770865426
