Solving crimes is not a dress rehearsal.
Chicago, 1881. The idea of a female detective is virtually unheard of. But when famed crime buster Allan Pinkerton opens his agencyâs doors to a handful of women, one intrepid actress with her own troubled past is driven to defy convention and take on a new and dangerous role.
Since the age of eleven, when her mother was murdered, the life of the theater is all Lilly Long has known. Now twenty-two, she has blossomed into an accomplished Shakespearean actress. But after her innocenceâand her savingsâare taken from her by a seductive scoundrel, Lilly vows to leave the stage, enter the real world, and save others from a similar fate. Following in the footsteps of the countryâs first female detective, Lilly persuades Allan Pinkerton to take her on.
Lillyâs acting skills are a perfect fit for her real-life role as a Pinkerton operative. But her first case is a baptism by fire as she is sent to the small town of Vandalia to solve the mystery of a pastor who disappeared with his familyâand the churchâs funds. When Lilly arrives, she finds the mere mention of the reverendâs name provokes enmity or suspicious silence. Shadowed by a second Pinkerton agent with an agenda of his own, Lilly begins to uncover Vandaliaâs sordid secrets. But sheâll have to deliver the performance of a lifetime to survive the final act of this drama.
