Publisher Description

June, 1940. For Miranda Corbie, private investigator and erstwhile escort, war is on the horizon—and with it, a web of secrets, lies, and murder.

Miranda owes a debt to the man who helped her get her PI license. And now, the U.S. State Department is calling in the favor. They suspect a chemistry professor in San Francisco of being a Nazi spy. To uncover the truth, Miranda must navigate a treacherous landscape of back alleys, art galleries, and drag clubs—a journey that takes her from San Francisco to Reno on the famed City of San Francisco streamliner.

But when she finds herself framed for a murder she never anticipated, Miranda is forced to go underground. Alone and hunted, she soldiers on, determined to expose the Nazi spy and unravel the mysteries of her own troubling past. To survive, Miranda must learn to discern reality from illusion, fact from fiction, and allies from enemies as she confronts the City of Ghosts.

In Kelli Stanley's most thrilling novel yet, Miranda Corbie's return mesmerizes readers and redefines the noir genre. City of Ghosts is a taut, suspenseful mystery that blends the intrigue of a historical thriller with the grit of a hardboiled detective story—a page-turner that will keep readers guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
