A Shadowy Figure Swings a Dangerous Club
Denver of 1900 is still a perilous place to be following the silver crash of 1893. And of out of the dark comes a shadow intent on harming women.
Ambitious young Denver newspaper reporter Polly Blythe is searching for the big story that’s going to launch her career. On Friday evening, August 24, 1900, she gets her break when two women are cracked over the head within a two-minute walk of each other. But policeman Edwin Timmer thwarts Polly’s ideas of a serial criminal … until the shadowy figure strikes again.
Will the reporter and the policeman team up to find the culprit before he strikes too close for comfort?

Story
Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country - or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed - and wake up the folks back home.
