The Desk From Hoboken
A soft-boiled mystery with a moral edge!
Protagonist, RaeJean Hunter, is a forensic genealogist who is offered a case when human remains are discovered on a Connecticut college campus.
Recovering from a deeply emotional loss and reluctant to take on the project, RaeJean acquiesces when the fee is doubled and then sweetened with an antique desk. Her anonymous client suspects the remains belong to a young woman who died mysteriously in 1841.
