Sinopsis

Shopgirl. Telephone operator. Lady's companion. Smashingly good secretary. All jobs that Dorothy Lundegaard possesses the skills to excel at. And even at the tail end of the Great Depression in St. Paul, Minnesota, all jobs that Dottie could secure for herself.
 
But, alas, none appeal to her. Her true calling, her vocation, remains the family business. She longs to follow in her father's private detective footsteps. Or at least assist her brother John as he strives to revive the agency after the death of their father.
 
As much as he might want her to pursue more conventional work, John Lundegaard again and again is forced to admit that his sister brings a perspective he needs. She can get into places that are closed off to him.
 
But mostly, she never takes no for an answer. And she never rests until the mystery is solved.
 
“The Dorothy Lundegaard Mysteries,” a collection of historical mystery short stories from Cate Martin.

    IN SUB-ZERO JANURARY, AN INFANT IS ABDUCTED . . . AND KIKI MIGHT BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN TRACK DOWN THE CULPRIT. 
     
     
     
    The arrival of Kiki's baby is cause for celebration, but Kiki herself suffers from a severe case of post-partum blues. Her mood darkens further when she learns that her friend Bonnie's newborn infant has been stolen from a local hospital. Bonnie is too grief-stricken to help the authorities. Can Kiki pull herself together long enough to step in? Bonnie won't talk to anyone else. 
     
     
     
    It's a lot to ask of Kiki, especially when the people around her don't recognize the depths of her despair. As with many post-partum sufferers, Kiki is too down to reach out and demand the help she needs. Her brave face is actually hurting her rather than helping. Since she's been typecast as "unsinkable," no one can see how badly she's suffering. 
     
     
     
    With each hour that passes, the chances of finding Bonnie's baby alive grow slimmer. And Kiki's funk grows deeper. She's feeling more and more isolated. 
     
     
     
    Can someone turn this tragic situation around? Where's Kiki's support network when she needs it?

    Lucy Haskell is returning home to Denver after four years living abroad in China. She's eager to see everything that has changed in her absence and to start the next chapter of her life. When her dear friend and traveling companion, Delphine Collins, goes missing, Lucy realizes she's in a unique position to help. She decides to apply to become a Pinkerton agent, offering her familiarity with the culture to help search for Delphine in Chinatown. 
    Jed Green isn't sure what he thinks about ladies joining the agency. From personal experience, Jed knows it's dangerous work, and he can't imagine putting a woman in such a tenuous situation. When he's asked to train a new female agent, he reluctantly agrees. But when he's asked to marry her for propriety's sake? That's another thing altogether – how utterly preposterous!  
    Before Jed and Lucy can concentrate on their case, they must discover if they can work together. However, resolving their surprising feelings for each other, so they can focus on their dangerous task, is another thing altogether.
