The Sandie Shaw Mysteries
A 1920’s Murder Mystery Series with a difference
When Sandie witnesses her client committing a cut-and-dried murder, her head tells her to walk away. Her heart tells her she can’t.
Keeping away from the mob is Sandie’s first rule of survival… until the day someone comes to call, and everything changes…
1920’s Chicago. The era that came to be known as the ‘roaring twenties’. For private investigator Sandie Shaw, ‘roaring’ was hardly the flattering kind of way she would ever describe it. In her view, Chicago typifies the false decadence gripping America.
Prohibition raised its ugly head, and the mobsters and the flappers took over Chicago. Her beloved city had fallen at the mercy of those who believed they were above the law… once again.
For a long time Sandie has had to be strong willed to stay in one piece. Being gutsy and taking no nonsense helps maintain a sense of right and wrong, and to retain her very individual identity. Taking over the one-man agency when her father died, and making it a one-woman business, she knew from the off that in a male-dominated environment she would have to be tough, and witty, to succeed.
For eight years she avoided anything mob-related. Then one day someone comes to call, and without Sandie even realizing what she’s getting into, suddenly she’s up to her chin in murky waters. And that changes everything…
