Violet's friend claims self-defense - but is it murder?
In small towns like Gyver, WWI veterans don't have it easy. In a nation just emerging from an economic depression, jobs are few and far between. Disability and shell shock are real, and battle fatigue is taking its toll on their bodies and souls.
Three years after the end of the war, Violet Grave's friend, Hank Convoy, is one of these vets struggling to survive. With a grandmother and a disabled sister to support, he takes whatever odd jobs he can get. But like Violet, he's a product of Jazz Age youth culture, so most of what he earns goes toward cards and bootleg liquor.
To add to his troubles, he's arrested on suspicion of murdering an army buddy found in the alleyway near his house.
Violet begs her older sisters, Eve and Helena, to help prove Hank killed out of self-defense and not cold-blooded murder.
Will the sisters solve this confusing case based on cigar ash, a missing revolver, and some missing jewelry? And what about the witness who left the marks of a strange pair of shoes in the dirt the night it happened?
Catch this second installment of the series that keeps crime-solving all in the family just as the Roaring Twenties are getting underway!
