The Case of the Murdered Muckraker
The week after solving her first case, Harriet Morrow is assigned a high-stakes murder investigation. A muckraker has been killed in a southside tenement building after obtaining evidence of a powerful politician’s corruption.

The Case of the Swindled Suffragist
Chicago detective Harriet Morrow’s new assignment is strictly confidential. Suffragist Helen Breitweiss entrusted her family jewels to her dashing piano teacher, Alan Phelps. The plan was for him to sell them so they could run off together with a hefty fortune. Phelps did run off—without Helen—only to fall to his death from the sixth-floor window of a luxury hotel. Harriet’s job: recover the jewels as discreetly as possible before anyone on the mansion-lined south side, especially Helen’s husband, gets wind of her desperate scheme.
