Julie Hayes, an aspiring writer trapped in an unfulfilling marriage, finds herself drawn into the dangerous orbit of Times Square's prostitutes and petty criminals when she witnesses a murder — and her relentless pursuit of the truth forces her to confront a world far removed from her own privileged existence. With the keen instincts of an amateur sleuth and the courage of someone with little left to lose, Julie unravels a mystery that implicates corrupt power structures and the forgotten women society refuses to see.\n\nDorothy Salisbury Davis, one of the most respected voices in American crime fiction and a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America, writes with a sharp moral intelligence and a deep compassion for the marginalized. Her prose is precise and unadorned, yet charged with an atmospheric tension that makes every scene crackle with authenticity. This, the first in the celebrated Julie Hayes series, argues compellingly that justice is not merely a legal matter but a deeply human one — leaving the reader to wonder just how far one woman will go when the law refuses to act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161046261979,"sku":"2026200011320-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c2db9cea-bb66-4d5b-b065-f8698149f612.png?v=1787189626","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011320-secondhand-a-death-in-the-life","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
