When a valuable pair of cufflinks disappears from a guest suite at The Breakers—the crown jewel of Palm Beach hotels, private investigator Drake Marlow is hired to recover the items and handle the matter with the utmost discretion. But what begins as a quiet inquiry quickly spirals into something far darker. The trail leads Drake to a jewel heist dating back to 1927 and the mysterious disappearance of a woman who was allegedly involved. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a maze of clandestine encounters, some alive, some not so much. With the help of his sharp-witted secretary Betty Lou, his fiancée Constance, the steady hand of Detective Holcomb, and a few unexpected allies, Marlow navigates a world where appearances deceive, and the truth comes with a cost. Here's what readers think: This was a first-rate historical mystery with more twists and turns than a Halloween corn maze. The author, Sally Ling, does a terrific job describing the opulent Palm Beach Breakers Hotel. I felt like I was sitting in the swanky lobby sipping an illegal Prohibition-era cocktail. The story revolves around two murders, which private investigator Drake Marlow links to a jewel heist years ago. He deals with bogus insurance investigators, a faux Scotland Yard man, and a building riddled with hidden passageways. As in previous books in this series, there’s a reliable and relatable cast of recurring characters that help Drake solve the case. Donna
