The morning after a blowout birthday celebration in Atlantic City, crime reporter and party girl Tess Mancini wakes up in an unfamiliar place—1955. In a twist of fate, she’s inhabiting the persona of her late great aunt, who was also a journalist.
Has she been whisked back in time 70 years to investigate the killing of a Nazi on the run? And save the man who will one day be her grandfather from a murder rap?
In a fresh take on time travel stories, Tess narrates her observations of yesteryear’s restraints on women and cultural taboos that are forgotten today, all while defying 1950’s convention and investigating a murder with prickly post-war political repercussions.
A charming and atmospheric historical fiction mystery that’s perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Barbara Davis.
