REVISED FOR HISTORICAL DATA CORRECTIONS AND EDITING – APRIL 5, 2014
NOTE: The Harrison – A Beautiful Place to Die – the second in the Madeline Donovan Mystery Series is currently available for sale.
The SS City of New York is about to embark on its maiden voyage to England. It is August, 1888 and Madeline Donovan is a passenger on this ship. It is an unexpected trip she has taken, because the thought of being in America or around anything familiar at Christmas, when the anniversary of the tragedy occurred, would be unthinkable. But everything abruptly changes, when the local London papers arrive on board and the news of Jack the Ripper’s latest victim are the headlines in every paper. She encounters Jonathan Franks, a reporter from The New York Times and others that will change her thoughts and the path that will lead her directly to Whitechapel, the deadliest place to be.
The Harrison (A Beautiful Place to Die) finds Madeline back in America in her hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
Many of the characters introduced in Stalking Jack will be involved in this new story which involves the disappearances of several local young ladies. The Harrison Hotel, a grand addition to the Chicago skyline, will become the focus as the mystery unfolds.
I am currently working on the third in the series of Madeline Donovan mysteries.
