Summary
May 1943. Betty Ahern is studying for her private investigator's license when a new client-Edward Kettle-hires her to clear his name after he was dismissed from his job at the American Shipbuilding Company. When Edward is brutally murdered, the dead man's sister hires Betty to finish the original job and find the killer. The job hurls Betty back into the world of wartime espionage, but with a twist: Edward Kettle was a homosexual. Did he know something about underhanded activities at American Shipbuilding? Or was his secret life the motive for murder? Once again, Betty must unravel the mystery, which requires uncovering truths that others would prefer to keep hidden-a job that threatens not only her morals and beliefs, but also her life.
