A Murder in Washington Square: A 1920s Historical Mystery

By Colette Clark

A little late-night mischief reveals a body...that promptly vanishes.

New York, 1925

Penelope "Pen" Banks and a few other zozzled young friends have decided to do something rather daring: break into the Washington Square Park Arch in an attempt to recreate the infamous affair of 1917.

Their impromptu party at the top is cut short by a violent thunderstorm. But not before Penelope glimpses, in a single flash of lightning, the body of a woman next to the fountain below.

By the time the partiers make it back down, the body has vanished.

In a case centered around Washington Square-where the students of New York University, patrons of the infamous Black and Tan saloons, bohemian artists of Greenwich Village, and entrenched old money collide-Penelope, now working even more closely with Detective Prescott and her usual set of friends, plans on finding exactly what happened that night.

A Body in Washington Square is the fifth book in the Penelope Banks Murder Mysteries series set in 1920s New York. The enjoyment of a historical mystery combined with the excitement, daring, and danger of New York during Prohibition and the Jazz Age.
