Produktbeschreibung

Codes, Conspiracies, and Cold War Secrets - where the real mysteries hide between the lines.

When ambitious New York Herald journalist Mildred Lancaster is relegated to covering society events instead of hard-hitting news, she never expects an overheard conversation between two librarians to lead her into a web of international espionage. After discovering strange markings and damaged pages in rare art books at the New York Public Library, Mildred's reporter instincts tell her there's more to the story than simple vandalism.

Her investigation leads her to Silas Kendrick, a suspiciously inept "librarian" whose true motives remain unclear. Despite his attempts to block her at every turn, circumstances force them into an uneasy alliance. With her career at stake and danger mounting, Mildred reluctantly teams up with the enigmatic Silas, never quite sure if she can trust him. When her colleague Mason Rigby threatens to steal her story and a blackmailed librarian makes a desperate move, Mildred finds herself in a race against time where trusting the wrong person could have deadly consequences.

Set in 1950s New York against the backdrop of Cold War tensions, Secrets is the thrilling prequel to the Mermaid Springs Mysteries series, revealing how Mildred Lancaster's final big-city case ultimately led her back to her small Florida hometown. Filled with period details, coded messages, and unexpected twists, this historical mystery captures the perfect blend of noir suspense and cozy charm.

Autorenporträt

Evaine Wells brings a fresh voice to the cozy mystery genre after years of crafting stories for young adults and teaching creative writing in schools. A dedicated daydreamer, she delights in bringing characters to life, weaving intricate mysteries in charming settings where readers can escape and play amateur detective. When not plotting the perfect crime (on paper, of course), Evaine can be found binging British TV dramas (the more tea drinking, the better) or sampling the culinary delights at Disney World. She lives in Florida with a clever Maltese who has masterfully trained her to scratch his back leg on cue.
