She needs the money, and while she's not proud of her work investigating Madam Carlotta's clients, she's proud of how well she does it. But when she unearths evidence of a dark crime, she and her baby are put in mortal danger .<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>The first historical mystery in award-winning author Mary Miley's 1920s Chicago-set series introduces reluctant sleuth Maddie Pastore and takes readers into a dark and dangerous world of mobsters, speakeasies and seances.</i></b> <p/> It's 1924, and Maddie Pastore has it made. A nice house, a loving husband with a steady job - even if it <i>is</i> connected to Chicago's violent Torrio-Capone gang - and a baby on the way. But then Tommy is shot dead, and she learns her husband had a secret that turns her life upside down. <p/> Penniless and grieving, Maddie is only sure of two things: that she will survive for the sake of her baby, and that she'll never turn to the mob for help. So when she's invited to assist a well-meaning but fraudulent medium, she seizes the chance. She's not proud of her work investigating Madam Carlotta's clients, but she's proud of how well she does it. <p/> When Maddie unearths potential evidence of a dark crime, however, she faces a terrible dilemma: keep quiet and let a murderer go unpunished, or follow the trail and put herself and her baby in mortal danger . . . <p/> <b>With its Prohibition-era setting, lively characters and enthralling historical detail, <i>The Mystic's Accomplice </i>is an ideal pick for readers who enjoy 1920s-set mysteries.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Miley smoothly inserts real-life notables such as Al Capone and philanthropist Jane Addams into the twisty plot.
