A Deadly Entanglement: A Harriman & Mancini Mystery - Hardcover

by Cathy Pegau (Author)

In A Deadly Entanglement, two queer women in turn-of-the-century New York must work together to uncover the rotten truth.

The truth isn't always easy...

Margot Baxter Harriman has just survived her deadliest scandal as President of B&H Foods, and now there's nowhere to go but up. Which is why she's organizing a fundraiser for the crowded, overworked city charity hospital, where she hopes to do good and give back-until a body falls past a second-floor window.

The nurse's death is quickly ruled a suicide, but fellow nurse CeeCee Foxmoor, Margot's friend and the live-in partner of investigator Rett Mancini, isn't so sure: this isn't the hospital's first suspicious death. CeeCee's concerns draw both Margot and Rett into an undercover scheme to untangle the threads behind the deaths everyone else is ready to overlook.

Then another death catches their attention: Margot's old classmate checked into the Caspian, a luxury clinic catering to the New York elite, but never checked out. And the circumstances surrounding her death feel eerily familiar...

As both the secrets and bodies pile up, Rett and Margot realize that while money can buy anything, behind ward doors, everyone pays a price. This time, their search for the truth might cost the people they love.

Cathy Pegau's A Deadly Entanglement is the captivating follow-up to A Murderous Business, where two women's determination challenges the cost of greed-and the price of failure.
