Synopsis

Abduction or White Slavery? In a local restaurant that just opened in 1930, an attractive college student disappears after a family argument. Fears of white slavery bring in Lt. Jared Lewis of the Brooklyn Heights precinct and an insurance investigator. The latest novella in the crime series traces the search through the streets of Brooklyn and along the seedy waterfront below without success. Was her handsome Spanish tutor involved? And can her two professors help solve the case and prevent a murder--or worse? The Brooklyn Heights Crime Series explores fictional crimes set in historical sites during the 1930s. This second novella by John B. Manbeck explores an international issue as if affects the local police force. To come will be the next release, "Skeleton in the Attic."

About this title

About the Author:

John B. Manbeck, a former Brooklyn Borough Historian and professor of English, has written and edited books and articles on Brooklyn since the 1970s. His role in creating The Kingsborough Historical Society has been supplemented by his lectures for the New York Council for the Humanities and his role on several advisory boards. This diversion into writing fiction is a natural extension of his interest in local history.
