Publisher's Synopsis
Death by Rum Running. . .
It's the hot and humid East Coast summer of 1931 and seven years since Dr. Haley Higgins' brother Joe was murdered. The case is cold. The Boston Police Department may have given up on finding Joe Higgins' killer, but Haley never will. She's serious and savvy and has what it takes to hold up under depressive times. At least she finds some satisfaction doing her part as the city pathologist's assistant in solving other crimes.
Investigative reporter Samantha Hawke byline Sam Hawke is blond, beautiful and broke, no thanks to her no good husband who's been on the lam for over six years. Her position at the Boston Daily Record is more than a job it's payback.
When a man is found dead at the Bell in Hand Tavern on Union Street, Haley and Samantha are both working the case. Haley's looking for justice and Samantha's after recognition and a raise. They may want the same thing to catch a killer but it turns out they may need each other to solve this case before becoming the next victims.
