  Chicago, 1898. In the midst of the Progressive Era, twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow is determined to prove she's more than a lucky hire as the Prescott Agency's first woman operative. But her latest challenge—a murder case steeped in scandal—could become a deadly setback . . . 
   
  As the Windy City thaws from a harsh winter, Harriet Morrow finds herself doubting her investigative skills when she's assigned to solve a high-stakes murder case well above her pay grade. And there's also a catch. Harriet must somehow blend in as an "unremarkable" young woman—one who feels confident in skirts, not men's clothing—on a quest to infiltrate the immigrant community at the center of the grisly crime . . . 
   
  The mystery has more twists and turns than her morning bike commute, with a muckraker found murdered in a southside tenement building after obtaining evidence of a powerful politician's corruption. While Harriet gains the trust of the tenement's women residents to gather clues, the undercover mission reveals an innocent mother might have been framed for the crime—and exposes ties to another violent death. Harriet will need to survive rising threats to assert her place in a world that's quick to dismiss her—and out a killer who's always one step ahead . . .

  American expat Tabitha Knight has found a new life in postwar Paris, along with a delightful friend in aspiring 
  chef Julia Child. Yet there are perils in peacetime too, as a killer infiltrates one of the city’s most famous fashion 
  houses. 
  If there’s one art the French have mastered as well as fine cuisine, it’s haute couture. Tabitha and Julia are 
  already accustomed to sampling the delights of the former. Now fashion is returning to the forefront in Paris, 
  as the somber hues of wartime are replaced by vibrant colors and ultra-feminine silhouettes, influenced by 
  Christian Dior’s “New Look.” 
  Tabitha and Julia join a friend for a private showing at an exclusive fashion atelier, Maison Lannet. The event 
  goes well, but when Tabitha returns later that evening to search for a lost glove, she finds the lights still on—and 
  the couturier dead, strangled by a length of lace. The shop manager suspects that a jealous rival—perhaps 
  Dior himself—committed the crime. Tabitha dismisses that idea, but when another body is found, it’s apparent 
  that someone is targeting employees of Maison Lannet. 
  Meanwhile, Tabitha’s Grand-père and Oncle Rafe are in the midst of their own design-related fracas, as 
  they squabble over how to decorate their new restaurant. And there are strange break-ins at a nearby shoe 
  store—but are the crimes related? It’s up to Tabitha to don her investigative hat and find answers before 
  someone commits another fatal fashion faux pas.
