It’s the summer of 1879, and Annie Fuller, a young San Francisco widow,
is in trouble. Annie’s husband squandered her fortune before committing
suicide five years earlier, and one of his creditors is now threatening
to take the boardinghouse she owns to pay off a debt.
Annie
Fuller also has a secret. She supplements her income by giving domestic
and business advice as Madam Sibyl, one of San Francisco’s most
exclusive clairvoyants, and one of Madam Sibyl’s clients, Matthew Voss,
has died. The police believe his death was suicide brought upon by
bankruptcy, but Annie believes Voss has been murdered and that his
assets have been stolen.
Nate Dawson has a problem. As the Voss
family lawyer, he would love to believe that Matthew Voss didn't leave
his grieving family destitute. But that would mean working with Annie
Fuller, a woman who alternatively attracts and infuriates him as she
shatters every notion he ever had of proper ladylike behavior.
Sparks
fly as Anne and Nate pursue the truth about the murder of Matthew Voss
in this light-hearted historical mystery set in the foggy gas-lit world
of Victorian San Francisco.
