The Man on the Docks

Cody Carson’s twin brother, Abner, has been murdered. Cody’s trust in the local law to solve the crime is not panning out. He feels the need to find an investigator himself. So he turns to Adelaide Salinger and her sisters, who run a private detective agency, the only one in Sacramento, California in 1849 that is run by women. Can he trust them to solve a mystery that is so close to his heart?

The case twists and turns. Cody and Adelaide break laws to find answers. Adelaide wasn’t looking for love. She’s been an independent woman all her life. The oldest of her sisters, she’s the one they rely on, and yes, truth be told, she did give up on marriage long ago.

Cody brings out feelings in her heart that she thought would never come to life. Now she has a decision to make. Can she let her heart lead her to love?
