Description
A FAMILY TRAGEDY, A 25 YEAR OLD MURDER, AND A DETECTIVE
DETERMINED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT...
Laura Wilkes has everything a woman could want when she snaps the carousel
picture. Her daughter, a happy little five-year-old, is holding the brass ring
and smiling at a daddy who adores her. Each time the carousel circles around
Laura snaps another picture, seven in all. This is a day of unforgettable
happiness; one of the few Laura has left.
In the months following the stock market crash, Franklin Wilkes is killed;
gunned down in senseless act of vengeance. The police know who did it, but the
man has disappeared. It’s the height of the depression and there are hoards of
nameless, faceless men living in freight train yards and back alleys. The
murderer is never caught, but Laura and Emory, her father, never give up hope
of finding him.
Now, twenty-five years later, Laura’s daughter has fallen in love with Jack
Mahoney a policeman working crowd control with the strikers at the Telephone
Company.
Right now Mahoney is a rookie, he has little or no power, but Emory is hopeful
he is the one person who can ultimately find Franklin’s killer and deliver the
justice the family has long awaited.
Readers of the other Wyattsville books will welcome the chance to get to know
the kind-hearted Spare Change detective as a young man about to fall in love.
