Wings in the Dark: A Jake & Laura Mystery

Wings in the Dark: A Jake & Laura Mystery

Witty and stylish in the classic Dashiell Hammett tradition, Michael Murphyâ€™s latest high-flying Jake & Laura mystery features a Hawaiian honeymoon thatâ€™s interrupted when their friend Amelia Earhart is accused of murder.
Â
Hawaii, 1935. Mystery novelist Jake Donovan and actress Laura Wilson are in gorgeous sun-soaked Hawaii, but their best-laid plans for canoodling on the beach are interrupted by a summons from famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart. It seems a local businessman has been gunned down next to her plane. In just days, the famous pilot intends to fly from Honolulu to Los Angeles, making aviation history over the Pacific. But now, without Jake and Lauraâ€™s help, Earhartâ€™s flight might never take off.
Â
Trailing a killer, the newlywedsâ€™ sleuthing leads to a jealous pilot, a cigar-chomping female officer of the â€œRoyalist Militia,â€ and a notoriously disagreeable lieutenant colonel named Patton. With a sinister killer lurking in the shadows, itâ€™s safe to say the honeymoon is over . . . and the danger has just begun.

â€œI heartily recommend the Jake & Laura mysteries, and this book specifically, if you like cozy mysteries that have a flair for the dramatic, a great sense of style, and an epic amount of witty banter. Goes well with fresh-caught seafood, grilled over an open fire on the beach, and drinks served in coconut shells.â€â€”Bibliotica

â€œGlittering with a hint of Nick and Nora, Michael Murphyâ€™s 1930s Manhattan provides a witty setting for murder and mayhem.â€â€”Mary Daheim, bestselling author of The Alpine Yeoman, on The Yankee Club
Â
â€œ[Jake and Laura] are fun, witty, and charming, and [All That Glitters] is filled with the same kind of 1930s Hollywood glamour that made the film of The Thin Man such a classic.â€â€”Popcorn Reads
