A Strange Disappearance
by Anna Katharine Green
“In a city of millions, one woman has vanished without a trace—and the truth is more dangerous than the disappearance.”
When a humble seamstress vanishes from a wealthy Manhattan estate, a sharp young detective is thrust into a maze of high-society scandals and hidden motives. He must navigate the dark corners of the Gilded Age to uncover why a woman with no enemies would suddenly evaporate into the New York City shadows.
