Series: Dr. Genevieve Summerford Mystery

To stop the trafficking ring plaguing her city, Dr. Genevieve Summerford must dive into New York's underworld

Book 2 in the enthralling Dr. Genevieve Summerford mystery series.

As Dr. Genevieve Summerford watches from the docks, the body of a young Italian woman is pulled from the East River, dampening the city's Independence Day festivities. Although the police suspect random violence, when Genevieve is asked to help find another young Italian woman who's gone missing, she wonders if something more sinister might be afoot.

Desperate to find the missing woman before she too meets a grisly end, Genevieve must rely on all of her skills as a psychiatrist-both to understand the mind of a cunning predator, and to help the victims he's left behind. But none of her training can prepare her for what happens when she herself is captured, bringing the case much closer to home than she'd ever anticipated.

Reviews for A Promise of Ruin (#1 Genevieve Summerford)

Our resourceful shrink dives into the case in a story that features plenty of absorbing period research and...a puzzle to hold the reader's interest. - The Toronto Star Set against the historical backdrop of a city teeming with immigrants, Overholt's second reveals the evils of a heinous trade that still goes on today. - Kirkus A Promise of Ruin offers readers a tantalizing dish of murder, mystery, romance, and humor served with a dark history that's as relevant today as it was in early 20th century New York City. Ms. Overholt infuses historical detail into her work with a deft master's touch. Fans of A Deadly Affection will welcome this addition to psychiatrist Dr. Genevieve Summerford's canon. - V.S. Alexander, author of The Magdalen Girls
