Publisher's Synopsis
Spring 1924. The world has clawed its way back from the ravages of the Great War and the Spanish Flu pandemic. The 20s are beginning to roar. Poppy Thornton lives with her aunt and her excitable cat Maestro in upper-crust Philadelphia. Poppy is determined to make a name for herself as a serious crime reporter, but is stuck reporting on garden parties and ladies' fashion. Then one day her editor assigns her to collect background information on the suicide of a prominent businessman. She soon discovers it was actually a murder - but her surprising source for this information is the ghost of a man killed alongside her father during the Great War. Even if she dared tell anyone, who would believe it? Together, Poppy and her 'gentleman haunt' follow the trail of a string of murders. But as their investigation narrows in on an all-too-familiar suspect, Poppy becomes a target herself.
