O’Shaughnessy Investigations Inc.: Bangtails, Grifters, and a Liar’s Kiss by A.G. Russo

Gritty urban storytelling set against the dramatic and authentically detailed backdrop of World War II, O’Shaughnessy Investigations Inc.: Bangtails, Grifters, and a Liar’s Kiss by A.G. Russo is a savvy work of historical detective fiction. Maeve and Vic are back for another round of high-stakes cases, but rubbing elbows with gangster muscle brings a whole new element of danger to their agency. From hunting down racehorses and outsmarting bookies to moonlighting on missions for the FBI, this second chapter of Russo’s O’Shaughnessy Investigations Inc. series has a wickedly sharp edge that calls back to the greats of the era, but with a female lead who feels modern, and a cast of new and familiar supporting characters who help bring each neo-noir scene to vivid life.
