Death was the other woman : [a mystery]

Behind every great man-- and even not-so-great-- is a woman. For the shady Prohibition-era businessman Harry Dempsey, it's his mistress Rita. For the private eye she hires, Dexter Theroux, it's his secretary Kitty Pangborn. But Dexter's Prohibition-era problem (rotgut booze) forces Kitty to come out from behind him in order to keep the firm alive. Unfortunately, the enemies she makes on this case will do more than just kill business.

  • "Deep in the Depression, there are two ways to make a living in L.A.: join the criminals or collar them. Kitty Pangborn's chosen the crime-fighters, becoming secretary to Dexter Theroux, one of the hard-drinking, tough-talking PIs that pepper the city's stew. But after Dex takes a job with the mistress of one of L.A.'s most corrupt businessmen, Kitty isn't so sure what side of the law she's on. The mistress has asked Dex to tail her lover, and Kitty goes along for the ride. When they discover a corpse, only to have it disappear, Kitty begins to realize that there's more to this story than jealousy, and more money at risk than her paycheck. Rich with period detail and sharp dialogue, Richards has created a quick-witted character who gives a brand new twist to the hard-boiled style.

  • "As the lawlessness of Prohibition pushes against the desperation of the Depression, there are two ways to make a living in Los Angeles: join the criminals or collar them. Kitty Pangborn has chosen the crime-fighters, becoming secretary to Dexter J. Theroux, one of the hard-drinking, tough-talking PIs who pepper the city's stew. But after Dex takes an assignment from Rita Heppelwaite, the mistress of Harrison Dempsey, one of L.A.'s shadiest -- and richest -- businessmen, Kitty isn't so sure what side of the law she's on. Rita suspects Dempsey has been stepping out and asks Dex to tail him. It's an easy enough task, but Dex's morning stroll with Johnnie Walker would make it tough for him to trail his own shadow. Kitty insists she go along for the ride, keeping her boss -- and hopefully her salary -- safe. However, she's about to realize that there's something far more unpleasant than a three-timing husband at the end of this trail, and that there's more at risk than her paycheck."@en
