DEATH IN SARATOGA SPRINGS New York City, 1894. Captain Jed Crake is a decorated veteran of the Union army and a successful mogul in the meatpacking industry. But this powerful man also has a hidden private life as a predator of young women. Working for attorney Jeremiah Prescott, private investigators Pamela Thompson and former NYPD detective Harry Miller are engaged to search for a maid allegedly abducted by the captain... Before they can find the missing woman, Crake's dark history catches up with him and he is murdered in a posh hotel in Saratoga Springs. As fate would have it, Pamela's ward, Francesca Ricci, working as a chambermaid in the hotel, is accused of the crime. Now, in this pastoral playground of the idle rich, it's up to Pamela and Miller to find Crake's killer-as well as his victim-and save an innocent girl from a fate worse than death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles O'Brien\u003c\/b\u003e decided to try his hand at writing historical mysteries due to a lifelong love of delving into the past James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e and Willa Cather's \u003ci\u003eDeath Comes for the Archbishop\u003c\/i\u003e have both influenced his writing style.
