SummaryThe first Gaslight mystery—newly repackaged.
After a routine delivery, midwife Sarah Brandt visits her
patient in a rooming house—and discovers that another
boarder, a young girl, has been killed. At the request of
Sergeant Frank Malloy, she searches the girl's room, and
discovers that the victim is from one of the most prominent
families in New York— and the sister of an old friend.
The powerful family, fearful of scandal, refuses to permit
an investigation. But with Malloy's help, Sarah begins a
dangerous quest to bring the killer to justice—before
death claims another victim.
