Why Are You Weeping, Sister?
Gwendolyn Graham's last happy day was just before her 15th birthday, the day before her beloved father died. Her mother forces her to abandon everything she has ever known, including the young man she loves and hopes to wed, and drags her from their farm to Baltimore, where she throws her daughter into the path of every man who shows an interest. Unfortunately, one of those men is a brothel owner. When Gwendolyn disappears, Detective Shay has to find her before it's too late.
The House That Jack Built
Baltimore City. 1910 Police hunt across the strata of society for a murderer. His victims seem to be from all social levels.
That Was Before I Met You
Baltimore City, 1911: For the first time in its history, prostitution has been made a crime. Brothels are being closed, inmates tossed onto the street.
Two young women, forced into "the life" as young teens, manage to break free of their past and open their own business, a small bakery. The man responsible for trafficking them comes back, trying to insinuate himself into their lives.
Oh Mr. Porter
Baltimore City Police Detective Sergeant Dylan Shay has been seconded to the fledgling Bureau of Investigation Baltimore Field Office. One of their first mandated investigations is the pursuit of people in active violation of the Mann Act.
Their hunt takes them through multiple states by rail, as they pursue the kidnappers of three young girls destined to be trafficked to a brothel. Will they catch up with the procurer in time?
