Publisher's Synopsis
Rose Gallagher always dreamed of finding adventure, so her new life as a freshly-minted Pinkerton agent ought to be everything she ever wanted. Better still, she's been recruited to the special branch, an elite unit dedicated to cases of a paranormal nature, and that means spending her days alongside the dashing Thomas Wiltshire. But being a Pinkerton isn't quite what Rose imagined. Meanwhile, her old friends aren't sure what to make of the new Rose. So when a chilling new case arrives on Rose's doorstep, she jumps at the chance to prove herself - only to realise that the stakes are higher than she could have imagined. Six delegates have been murdered at a local political convention, and the police have no idea who - or what - is responsible. One thing seems clear: the killer's next target is a candidate for New York City mayor, one Theodore Roosevelt.
