Manhattan, 1920. Mary Lou Jones is a 29-year-old private detective scraping by on trivial cases—missing pets, cheating spouses, and unpaid laundry tabs. Brilliant but unrecognized, she’s behind on rent and running out of hope… until a long-lost letter arrives. Her father is missing. Her mother is desperate. And the mystery stretches across the country, from New York’s dark alleys to California’s sunlit secrets. Now, Mary must leave behind the jazz and grime of Manhattan and plunge into a haunting family mystery that will test her wit, her courage—and everything she thought she knew. A noir-flavored drama full of mystery, heart, and grit—Manhattan, 1920 is a story of one woman’s fight to matter in a world that keeps underestimating her.
