Molly Murphy's beau Captain Daniel Sullivan may be out of jail on bail,
but he's still a ways from clearing his name, and his foul mood has
Molly in search of a little breathing room when providence steps in in
the form of a proposition from New York City's renowned theatrical
impresario Tommy Burke.
America has been very good to Tommy, and now that he's getting on in
years, he'd like to pass some of that good fortune on to his family back
in Ireland. That's, of course, if Molly can find the long-lost baby
sister his family left in the care of a parish priest when they fled the
famine and avoid the warrant out for her arrest that forced Molly to
flee herself. Tempted by the prospect of going home for the first time
in years and putting her fledgling detective agency on firm financial
ground, Molly throws caution to the wind and climbs aboard the White
Start Liner Majestic with hopes of sneaking on and off the isle
without raising a peep.
But even before Molly lands on the other side of the Atlantic,
Broadway's leading actress, Oona Sheehan, has gone missing from the
ship, and her maid is found dead in her cabin.
Full of rich historic detail and enchanting turn-of-the-century
personalities, Molly's return home, In Dublin's Fair City, is the
sixth thrilling installment in Rhys Bowen's award-winning Molly Murphy
series.
