As she confronts the baffling case of a missing glove, Gilda inadvertently stumbles upon a web of crimes that ties together her father's unexplained death, a sinister conspiracy, and the malevolent forces threatening her city. With the stakes rising, Gilda must confront the darkness that has seeped into her world before it consumes everything she holds dear. W.M. Akers presents an intriguing mix of historical fantasy and mystery in this atmospheric tale featuring gunfights, smoky jazz, and a strong-willed heroine.
