In late 1923 the recently married Daisy Dalrymple and her husband, Detective Main Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Lawn, come to America to get a honeymoon visit. Amid a enjoyment trip, however, both function in a bit of business-Alec travels to Washington, DC to consult with the government, Daisy to New York to meet with her American magazine editor. While in NY, Daisy stays on the famed Chelsea Hotel, which isn’t only close to the Flatiron Building offices of Overseas magazine, about THE SITUATION from the Murdered Muckraker: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery where she’ll end up being ending up in her editor, but house to many of New York’s artists and writers.

After her late morning get together, Daisy agrees to accompany her editor, Mr. Thorwald, to lunch. But as they are departing the offices, they hear a gunshot and visit a guy plummeting down an elevator shaft. The man killed was one of her fellow citizens at the Chelsea Resort, Otis Carmody, who was a journalist with no end of enemies-personal and professional-who would delight in his loss of life. Again amid a murder investigation, Daisy’s search for the killer will take her to all levels of culture, and a good mad dash across the country itself, as she efforts to resolve a puzzle that would baffle actually Philo Vance himself.
