Innocent as Sin: Part Two in the Innocent Mystery Series
C.A. Asbrey, author
When Nat Quinn stumbles across Pinkerton Detective MacKay while he’s robbing a bank, it looks like he might blow the cover she has carefully prepared for a job she’s been working on for months. She agrees to meet him to keep him quiet but when Jake, one ringleader of a western gang known as The Innocents alongside Nat, finds out she’s working with a bounty hunter who never brings in a criminal alive, he suspects that Nat might be the next target. The whole case exposes Nat and Jake’s ugly past—once victims of discrimination as newly-arrived Irish Immigrants at the hands of the ‘Know Nothings’—and leaves MacKay facing a full-blown case of Jake’s irritable heart (the 19th century name for PTSD), which was caused by their childhood trauma. As the case unravels, we see Nat and Jake display their skills as confident tricksters as they try to divert one of the most dangerous men in the country. And on top of it all, someone has dumped a frozen corpse after disguising it as a tramp. These cases stretch MacKay’s forensic skills, reveal long-buried skeletons, and expose the rawest of emotions in the tense alliance. Will everyone make it out alive?
