More Than You Know

For fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen, and Susan Elia MacNeal- 

A bold, clever Brooklyn girl fights against the odds to save someone she loves 

and avenge a cruel murder in post war Manhattan. 

New York City-Spring, 1947: The dark clouds of WWII have scattered, and America revels in the sunshine of a new day. Heroes have returned to marry their sweethearts, and the best jobs must go to them. Or so Grace Russo is told. But the typing pool is not for her and never will be. 

Working for Harry Shaw is not her first choice either, but she persuades the skeptical private detective to give her a chance. Soon after, her brother Joe, a troubled vet and jazz musician, is charged with the murder of a beautiful, Black nightclub singer, Lana Delmar. 

Despite a truckload of evidence against him, Grace knows Joe is innocent and helps Harry dig for the truth. When her boss suddenly disappears to chase down demons of his own, she pursues the trail alone to a glamorous supper club, The Starlight Room. A glittering but dangerous world where no one can be trusted, and every smile hides secrets. Her wits sharpened and courage tested, Grace is determined to unveil the elusive killer and win justice for Joe and Lana. Even when her stubborn heart marks her as the next victim.
