Synopsis

Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is contemplating giving up PI work for something a little less.exciting. Molly has had quite enough excitement recently, thank you very much. Especially from the handsome but deceptive NYPD captain Daniel Sullivan. She wants him out of her life for good. But when Daniel is accused of accepting bribes and lands himself in the Tombs, the notorious city jail, he begs Molly to help prove he was framed. After everything they've been through together, how can she turn him down? As Molly finds herself drawn further into Daniel's case, Molly begins to fear that his trouble is related to one of his investigations: catching a serial killer who is targeting prostitutes, known to the locals as the East Side Ripper . . .

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

I have no alternative, Miss. I’m only obeying orders, mark you, but I’m placing you under arrest. With that he clapped a handcuff onto one wrist before I knew what was happening to me.
I stared down at the wrist in horror and indignation. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! How dare you! Release me this minute or I’ll make the biggest fuss you can imagine.
I’m really sorry, Miss Murphy, but I’ve been told to bring you to Captain Sullivan and bring you I will, even if I have to carry you over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
You’re taking me to jail? On what charge? Is this Daniel Sullivan’s idea of a joke?
The constable shook his head. It’s no joke, Miss. It’s deadly serious, I’m afraid, or the captain wouldn’t have had you brought in this way. But he had no alternative. He’s in serious trouble, Miss Murphy. He’s under arrest and being held in the Tombs pending his trial.
