Description by Author:
Nat Quinn and Jake Conroy are just doing
their job—robbing a bank! But when Nat sees Pinkerton agent Abigail MacKay is
already there, he knows something isn’t right. Is she on the trail of The
Innocents again, or has she turned up in Everlasting, Wyoming, by coincidence?
Abi can’t believe her bad luck! Nat and Jake
are about to make her true identity known, and botch the undercover job she has
carefully prepared for—a job she’s been working on for months. When Jake
discovers she’s cooperating with a sadistic bounty hunter who never brings in
his prisoners alive, he suspects Nat might be the next target. How could Abi
would betray them like this?
On top of everything else, someone has dumped
a frozen corpse after disguising it as a tramp. The town is snowed in and the
killer isn’t going anywhere, but can Abigail’s forensic skills solve the murder
before anyone else is killed? Abi and Nat manage to admit their feelings for
one another, but will that be enough to overcome the fact that they’re on
opposite sides of the law?
The Innocents and Abigail MacKay must work
together to solve the murder case, but they’re still best enemies. It’s an
emotional standoff, and they’re all INNOCENT AS SIN…
About
the Author:
C.A.
Asbrey is a writer of mysteries, and a fan of all things Victorian and obscure.
A former member of law enforcement in Scotland, she developed a deep interest
in early forensics and detection methods, particularly during the 19th Century,
working in the field. This extensive research into early detectives and the
tools available to them acted as the foundation for developing the characters
in her The Innocents Mystery Series. She likes her mysteries twisty, complex,
and intricate; through a fog of history and a touch of light humor.
