Pearls and Poison
by Erin Lindsey

Rose is back and this time she’s flying solo as she investigates criminal paranormal activity in Gilded Age New York City.

Murder in Manhattan

Fully fledged Pinkerton agent Rose Gallagher has just caught her first solo case. Stolen jewels and suspicious deaths in a building on Pearl Street with supernatural markings in the wall are right up her alley. But without her partner, Thomas—whose abrupt departure still hurts her bruised heart—Rose fears she might not be up to the challenge. Especially when the investigation takes a deadly turn . . .

Attending a high society séance hosted by a psychic of dubious repute should have been nothing more than a great opportunity to gather clues. And yet Rose finds herself being followed, her dear friend is brutally attacked, and her mother’s life is threatened. With her loved ones in danger, can Rose stop the killer before their sinister scheme claims another victim?

The fourth installment in Erin Lindsey’s Rose Gallagher series, Pearls and Poison is an exciting adventure through Gilded Age New York. Fans of historical mysteries and all things supernatural will love this!
