SummaryA deadly delivery arrives with the eighth novel in the
bestselling, EdgarŽ-nominated Gaslight series.
When midwife Sarah Brandt visits Little Italy to check up on
a new mother who delivered her baby just the day before, she
finds the young woman dead. The family insists that the
death was from complications of childbirth. Sarah thinks
not. Neither does the woman's own mother, an Irishwoman who
spreads the story that the girl was murdered by her Italian
in-laws, the Ruoccos—an accusation that inflames
tensions between the two immigrant groups. Detective
Sergeant Frank Malloy is going to need Sarah's help to
unravel the secrets of these troubled families, bring a
killer to justice—and restore order to the volatile
community.
