Lane Sanders and her fiery boss, Mayor Fiorello "Fio" La Guardia, have managed to contain the explosive underground conspiracies of New York's most sinister schemers. But after a seemingly harmless pinball racket claims the life of a trusted ally, a new ringleader signals the rebirth of an all-too-familiar crime network at home and across the pond. Spurred on by the possibility of a violent syndicate spreading like wildfire through Europe, Lane sets sail for London—the city where her parents began the undercover work that led to their tragic undoing. And this time, she won't chase down childhood nightmares without Finn Brodie, who vows to dispel his own difficult secrets abroad. While Finn confronts a devious sibling's plot that echoes Orson Welles's Voodoo Macbeth, Lane discovers that a dazzling pearl dagger may wield the ultimate clue to guide their hunt for justice on both sides of the ocean. With terrors from the past and present converging, Lane can't save herself unless she starts believing that, like her weapon of choice, she also has the power to be both beautiful and dangerous.

      Listening to this audiobook takes one back to New York City's privileged social scene of the 1930s, a world of parties, dance clubs, politics, and, of course, crime. This crime novel is the third in the Art Deco mysteries, featuring crime fighter Lane Sanders, who is also an aide to Governor Fiorello La Guardia. Narrator Emma Lysy radiates energy and enthusiasm as she presents this story, providing a girlish, Midwestern voice for Lane. English accents prove a challenge for Lysy, and some of the characters have similar sounding voices. In all fairness, there are many characters to portray, all defined by generic categories. The audiobook has a certain glitzy charm, nonetheless. D.L.J. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
