Publisher's Synopsis
STEUBENVILLE, OHIO, is a hardscrabble river town once called "Little Chicago" for the number of gamblers, bootleggers, gangsters, and call girls. Known also for its famous son Dean Martin, whose legacy lives on at the yearly Dean Martin Festival, Steubenville has changed for the better but still hears echoes from the past.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR Janet Shailer has created a novel about a retired history teacher who uses sleuthing skills and the library to track down a murderer and determine the victim's true identity. She sets off on a detective's quest using perseverance, fear, and women's intuition to guide her on a long journey. It takes her to parts of the country where she has never visited and where she finds the keys to solving the crime. Two questions linger. 1) Was the victim really her father or was it another man? 2) Who was the murderer?
