An omnibus of novels by Anne Arrandale
Somewhere In France There's a Lily
Lily Barnett, a failure in medical school through no fault of her own, enters the new nursing program at St.
Joseph's Hospital. At the very beginning of the War to End All Wars, she steps up and joins the British Medical Corps.
Come to the Church in the Wildwood
Gabrielle Lane Pennington has a great grift. She's running tent revivals all over the east coast, and preaching the Gospel as it is convenient.. On the side, her roustabouts are snatching young girls from their revivals and shipping them off to brothels run by a notorious madam.
The fledgling Bureau of Investigation has a new agent,. Still with only forty-three agents in the country, Dylan Shay was accepted on the force. The BoI's mandate still includes sussing out violations of the Mann Act, as well as investigating acts of espionage.
Newly minted Agent Shay is called upon to surveille Pennington's tent revival in a remote corner of rural West Virginia.
Meanwhile, Sophia Davies and Gerhardt Weissmann are still taking the wealthy of Baltimore for a small fortune, and the wealthy are still thanking them for the privilege.
When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
1914: England has entered the War to End All Wars.. Germany seems determined to force the British to split their forces and to fight against the Irish rebels in the north.
Mounted Police Officer Tadhg Nagel has become somewhat of a local hero. First he was instrumental in breaking up a peonage operation for the Bureau of Investigation. Then he foiled a major theft at a society fashion show. That wasn't enough for Officer Nagel. He needed to do something to stop the Germans from destroying his homeland. Joining the Britsh Army would most likely mean coming home in a pine box. Nagel didn't know what else to do until he was sent on special assignment to the aerodrome in College Park to provide security for members of the Lafayette Escadrille.
Gerhardt Weissmann is still on the loose. After his escape from the police, he's still not exactly honest. Teaching music isn't a bad way to earn a living, but it serves even better as a front for sabotage and espionage.
Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier
April 4, 1917: The United States enters The Great War.
Young men are being drafted, while young women volunteer to serve in auxilary positions, freeing "A Man to Fight."
Rhys Shay has his draft notice, and is preparing to report any day now. Lucy Goodheart, the young woman his brother rescued from a sex trafficker five years before, has learned the art of telegraphy from her foster father. Now that she is out of school, she joins the U.S. Navy in the only capacity available, as a Yeoman (F). Not only does being a Yeomanette enable her to make use of her telegraphy skills, it lets her feel closer to young Mr. Shay.
One of the first thing Lucy does is intercept communications from a German spy ring.
