Mercy Allcutt has had exciting times as secretary to private investigator, Ernie Templeton. While it's true she's been in what she considers a wee bit of trouble--Ernie considers out-and-out danger--a time or two, she's determined to continue learning the ways of the 'real' world.
However, when she sets out to find her wandering boss, Ernie, one hot September afternoon, she not only discovers a corpse, she also finds Ernie, bound and gagged. Even worse, when the police arrive to investigate the crime, they peg Ernie as the killer.
Mercy isn't about to let the police get away with that, no matter how many times Ernie tells her to butt out of the case. The only question is whether she'll survive her investigatory efforts before she becomes one more 'Fallen Angel.'
Publisher Note: Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries in historical settings are sure to appreciate the Mercy Allcutt series set in 1920s Los Angeles, California. No vulgarity or explicit sex for those who appreciate a clean and wholesome read.
