Undercover Lady!
It is 1898, and Calista lives and breathes to be a Pinkerton agent. But she is still under probation for the job, and must prove herself to become a full-fledged operative. She goes to Joplin, Missouri, undercover, to see if she can find a woman whose last known location was there. The area is notorious for the large number of women working in the world’s oldest profession. Is the missing woman part of that, and how can Calista safely infiltrate the operation?
While trying to figure that out, she is sidetracked by her many relatives that live in the area. Will they blow her cover? Can she convince them she is there for something else so she doesn’t have to reveal her true reason for coming?
Calista has many mishaps with her family, along with the new preacher, Matthew, who has set his sights on saving Calista from the bad lifestyle he believes her to be living.
Serious and dangerous situations are paired with some funny episodes that make this an exciting story. Can Calista keep her job as a Pinkerton agent, and at the same time, have a relationship with Matthew? Will she be able to keep her true identity from him until she solves this case?
The reader will find themselves on the edge of their seat from the tale’s action and thrills, but also laughing at hilarious antics Calista finds herself a part of. Christian faith also plays a part in this book. Fans of well written, fast-paced stories with a sprinkling of humor, will love this five-star story.
