Infos

When one of New York's favorite dancers is killed in a crowded high-tone speakeasy, everyone present becomes a suspect-and those that may have eluded questioning as well. It's up to Inspector McKee of the NYPD to sift through the witness statements, separate fact from fiction, and put together a picture of the crime as it happened in order to discover what's missing from the official narrative. And in the process, he'll uncover a story that leads back into the past, with blackmail and stolen emeralds lurking in the shadows.... As McKee s case comes into focus, a rich and confounding mystery plot is revealed, which will take all of the inspector s resources to solve. Along the way, the inner workings of the New York City police department in the 1930s is on full display, including the line-ups, the radio room, the morgue, and the fingerprinting office technologies that were at the cutting edge of the era s fight against crime. Reissued for the first time eighty years, McKee of Centre Street is one of the first police procedurals ever written by a woman. The novel s realistic New York setting and insightful view of police work was an instant hit with fans and its lead character went on to star in over thirty books.
