"In 1873, Sadie Greenstreet, a Chicago newspaper writer, sets forth with her husband to meet up with a riverboat making its way along the Mississippi. But this is no vacation: Sadie's husband is a Pinkerton man. The couple has been dispatched to investigate a series of death threats leveled at the riverboat owner - who is murdered just moments after they board the boat. Who killed the owner of the Mississippi Girl? It's a case that will take both their talents to crack." "Eye of the Agency skillfully blends a plot of twists and surprises with the pleasures of a historical mystery. Woven into the text is a collection of fetching lithographs, photographs, and other illustrations that evoke the world of Mark Twain's Mississippi and bring the story alive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
