Murder at the Flamingo

Two society runaways become an unlikely sleuthing duo as they search for a killer amid the glamour and grit of 1930s Boston in this mystery series debut.

Boston, 1937. Hamish DeLuca has spent most of his life trying to rise above his father’s expectations. Now he’s finally run away to Boston where his cousin, Luca Valari, is opening a fashionable nightclub in Scollay Square. When he meets Regina “Reggie” Van Buren—his cousin’s “right hand man”—Hamish wonders if his dreams for a normal life might be at hand.

Heir to a New Haven fortune, Reggie fled her immaculate home—and the man her parents expect her to marry. Determined to make a life as the self-sufficient city girl she’s seen in the movies, Reggie runs away to Boston, where she finds an easy secretarial job with the suave Luca Valari. But as she and Hamish work together in Luca’s glittering world, they discover a darker side to the smashing Flamingo nightclub.

When a corpse is discovered at the Flamingo, Reggie and Hamish learn there is a vast chasm between the rich and the rest—and a dangerous underworld that feeds on them both. As Hamish is forced to choose between his conscience and loyalty to his beloved cousin, he and Reggie work to expose a murder before the darkness destroys everything they’ve worked to build.
