The Underworld Of New York

The Death Beat by Fiona Veitch Smith is a marvelous cosmopolitan historical novel set in 1921. It is the third book in the Poppy Denby Investigates series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Once more the reader is enthralled by the bravery of Poppy Denby as she goes to great lengths to solve crimes, fighting the injustices of the day.
