Eager to clear her name, Doro goes undercover with Ev-as his moll. Navigating the treacherous world of bootlegging and speakeasies in Depression-era America proves perilous. Ev puts everything on the line to protect Doro, but she shows her pluck when their real identities are leaked, and she stands between Ev and gangsters.. D.S. Lang, a native Ohioan, has been making up stories since she was a little girl, and she still is! Along the way, she studied English and social studies as an undergrad. After graduate school, she went on to teach government and American history in high school. She also taught English at the junior high, high school, and college levels. In addition, she has worked as a program coordinator, golf shop manager, and online tutor.

Now, she spends much of her time reading, researching, and writing. Most recently, she has delved into the Great War era and the years immediately after it. Her Arabella Stewart Historical Mystery Series was inspired by her Great Uncle Brice who served in the American Expeditionary Force during World War One, and by her love of historical mysteries. In her spare time, she loves to spend time with family and friends, including her dog Izzy.
