Description

Mob vs the Moderns

One of two roommates disappears.

Daughters of well-to-do families, they are in New York City living the life of moderns. One plays piano in a speakeasy, the other attends Cooper Union studying architecture. Both are joyously free of their parents’ supervision and strict codes of conduct.

A mob moll holds the key to the puzzle involving the disappearance of one girl and the murder of another.

Can Boston Brahmin, James Nathaniel Walker, unlock the mystery? Will his acrophobia hinder his investigation? Will his underworld connections facilitate his efforts?

One Went Missing by M. G. Karpin is a tale of twists, turns and survival in New York’s Jazz Age of prohibition, politics and pubs.

1920s New York was still with very strict rules in place for well to do girls. They could go to college but they were expected to conform to their families traditional way of life.

Two young women boarded together one studying music, the other architecture happy as room mates both enjoying a bit of freedom away from the strict attitudes of well connected and rich families.

Till one goes missing, then winds up dead. Taking the investigaiton over is Nathaniel Walker, a gentleman investigator for whom private detective work is a passion and something which someone of his wealth will not pursue normally.
Painstakingly going over the background and the last few days of this young woman's life he uncovers a whole lot of information which will be very unpalatable to her highly conservative family. From accidentally brushing up against the mob and a moll from the mob, to playing in a speakeasy Nathaniel uncovers a whole plot which ended in a tragic death.

Very descriptive of the Jazz Era in New York city, this was an entertaining read.
