A Pride and Prejudice inspired romance brings a unique voice and new style to the genre: Noir, a romantic, crime fiction novel filled with intrigue, steamy nights, and 20th Century historical fiction. Jane Austen's beloved characters become entangled in a Philip Marlowe-esque adventure of love and mystery.It's November 1952 in New York City where mysterious denizens linger in smoky bars and darkened alleys. The second Red Scare is dredging up a new swarm of "Commies"; "duck and cover" are the lingo of the day. And hard-boiled private eyes aren't always men.One audacious dame, Elizabeth Bennet, is undercover in a case of suspected murder: her best friend, Mary King, has been missing for eighteen months. Determined to find the man she believes did the girl in-one George Wickham-her investigation collides with an enigmatic bachelor, Fitzwilliam Darcy and his socialite sister, Georgiana.Darcy is loaded, from a high-society family with all the money and the right connections for a future in politics. Elizabeth's a career girl from the wrong side of the East River, but the sexual chemistry between them cannot be denied. She is focused on finding Slick Wick and he is hell-bent on stopping her investigation. But why? He's hiding something, but she'll use almost every weapon in her H-bomb arsenal to get his lips flapping.Murder, kidnapping, and a brainy broad with a body for sin are just enough to break Darcy's stone-cold reserve. She's so provocative that maybe he'll even be taking a trip down the aisle despite where she's from, what she does, and the fact that she knows George Wickham.Be advised: this novel contains mature sexual content.
