  Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail! 
  A suspicious death. A hidden letter. A secret worth killing for. 
  Their honeymoon abruptly ended by the untimely death of Alcott Howard, Clive and Henrietta rush back to Highbury. Though the police have ruled his father’s passing as accidental, Clive can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss. As he digs into the details of Alcott’s affairs, a troubling possibility emerges: his father may have been blackmailed. Despite his mother’s pleas to let the matter rest, Clive becomes determined to uncover the truth. 
  Meanwhile, at Henrietta’s urging, her sister Elsie enrolls at a newly opened women’s college in an effort to put her romantic troubles behind her. At first, she finds peace in the quiet, convent-like environment and even begins to contemplate a religious vocation—until a bookish German custodian challenges her to think for herself. Their budding friendship takes a troubling turn, however, when Elsie uncovers disturbing secrets from his past… 
  As long-buried truths come to light, Clive and Henrietta once again find themselves pitted against the infamous Neptune and his gang. What begins as a simple stake-out turns deadly when Clive vanishes. Can Henrietta piece the clues together in time—before it’s too late?

  Meticulous private investigator Stanley Melvin likes to keep his work grounded in reality, not at all like the classic detective novels he has read incessantly since childhood. But his best friend and annoying neighbor Rudy quickly points out that his routine "cheater" case is rapidly taking on all of the features that Stanley steadfastly insists are mere fictional tropes of the genre. 
  Stanley isn't too sure how he feels about this. But as a professional, he forges ahead, despite getting out of his comfort zone. He knows he has to solve this case even if it is taking on all of the hallmarks of the job. 
  Additional notes: 
  Stanley Melvin stories take place in the SpoCompton universe. 
  Hallmarks of the Job won the 2022 PSWA Award & was also selected by the Independent Fiction Alliance as one of the best "truly independent" titles of 2022!
