Tai puikaus stiliaus romanas – ir detektyvas, ir melodrama, ir trileris. Prarasta vaikystė, pasidavimas svetimo žmogaus valiai, žiaurumui, iškenčiama išdavystė – visa tai autorė vaizduoja su jaudinančiu nuoširdumu. Įtampa pagauna nuo pirmųjų puslapių ir išlieka iki pat pasakojimo pabaigos. Paauglės Popė ir Serina tampa tragiško įvykio liudininkėmis. Viena apkaltinama ir įkalinama, o kita paleidžiama į laisvę. Praėjus aštuoniolikai metų iš kalėjimo išėjusi Popė, jau jauna moteris, nusprendžia vėl prikelti praeitį ir išsiaiškinti joje likusias paslaptis. Tačiau šių paslapčių atskleidimas grasina sugriauti ne vieną gyvenimą – taip pat ir Serinos...

SHERLOCK HOLMES' FEMALE RIVALS! This unique collection for connoisseurs of detection done female style brings back six of the greatest fictional women sleuths of the era of gaslights and horseless carriages. Fans of Kinsey Milhone and other contemporary women detectives, as well as of Agatha Christie and Honey West, will love this collection featuring the foremothers of today's fictional female crime-fighters. Long out of print and unobtainable, these celebrated women 'tecs --Baroness Orczy's Lady Molly of Scotland Yard, Anna Katharine Green's Violet Strange, Arthur B. Reeve's Constance Dunlap, C. L. Pirkis' Loveday Brooke, Valentine's Daphne Wrayne, and Edgar Jepson and Robert Eustace's Ruth Kelstern – were once nearly as famous as fictional sleuth of Baker Street himself. Their fame waned in the long decades of the 1930s through the '80s, when female sleuths took a backseat to Sam Spade, Nero Wolfe, and the like. But, they are back to baffle and thrill contemporary readers in The Legendary Women Detectives edited by Jean Marie Stine.

It is convincing as fiction . . . . The story of a sacrifice that had real meaning and will forever be remembered . . . . A fine and important novel." --The New York Times
