Summary

In 1920s Toronto, the world is undergoing massive changes. Jazz is on the turntables as communism and prohibition are being hotly debated over hard drinks in speakeasies. Society will never be the same--and crime has never had it better. A new age calls for a new kind of detective, and the women of Drake Private Detectives fit the bill. The city's only female private detectives, Frankie Drake and her partner Trudy Clarke as they fight crime with the help of keen police morality officer Mary Shaw and spirited morgue attendant Flo Chakowitz. In a time of change and hopefulness, their gender is their biggest advantage as they defy expectations and rebel against convention. They are new detectives for a new world--but is the world ready for them?
