Set amidst the glittering enclaves of money, power, and privilege in America's tumultuous Gilded Age, this richly detailed mystery follows private detective Pamela Thompson into an elite world where fortunes are flaunted and scandals are hidden--one body at time. . .

Death Of A Robber Baron

New York City, 1891. In the spirit of Christmas, Mrs. Pamela Thompson has devoted herself to charity work, even taking an orphaned child into her Greenwich Village townhome. Her husband Jack, an ambitious banker, agrees to such generous acts as long as his wife allows him to invest his time--and her trust fund--in more lucrative opportunities. But when he risks their entire fortune on questionable copper stocks, Pamela ends up losing everything: her house, her inheritance, and even her husband. . .

Penniless, Pamela is forced to move into a boarding house in the Lower East Side and accept a position at Macy's--as a store detective. Displaying an uncanny knack for the job, she's asked to investigate a private matter of thievery at a palatial "cottage" in the Berkshires. Ironically, her employer is none other than Henry Jennings, the infamous "Copper King" who sold bad stocks to her husband. But when the filthy rich scoundrel is found dead in his study, Pamela holds herself accountable--for sorting out this whole sordid business of money, motives. . .and murder.

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly. The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

My favorite underwear
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
Super comfortable!! They are soft and breathable. No pinching, no shifting, and relatively invisible in skirts, pants, and loose dresses. True to size. Excellent quality, holds up well. Only thing is that the wording on the front does come off after a few washes, so you have to differentiate the front from the back of the underwear by how high the seam comes up. I almost exclusively wear this underwear now, I love it!

Incredible Comfort
Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured F (5-pack)
Amazing; I’ll be ordering more. Super soft, lightweight, smooth under clothes, incredible comfort! Best underwear! I ordered these because I’m tired of underwear lines when wearing biker shorts/leggings. Other boy shorts were too long or the bottom hem too thick and both of those issues left lines around my upper leg. THESE are *just right* - perfect length and fit. No panty lines on close fitting pants, comfortable under other pants and dresses, great with jumpsuits, and fit well under slip shorts with dresses. NOTE: These take longer to dry, than similar clothes, in the dryer. No shrinking though. SIZE: I ordered these in size L and they fit perfectly. A little snug when first on but they loosened up. For reference I’m 5’4” tall, about 175#, carry my weight in my hips and backside,wear size L sweats/pajamas/loose pants, size 12 jeans.

Full coverage and full comfort
Size: XX-Large, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
These boyshort underwear are a dream. They’re very soft, very stretchy, and very comfortable. They do not shrink when they’re washed. They’re heavy enough to make you feel like you have something covering you for discretion, but light enough to wear under any type of fabric. I have wide hips and I’m older so I don’t have a tight perky butt anymore. Most underwear tend to either ride up on me or become very uncomfortable. These stay where you put them. And they come all the way up to your waist so that there is no panty line whatsoever. The waist line is soft and comfortably. It does not dig in. They do not ride up and drive you crazy they stay where you put them. I would recommend them to anyone young or old. I have tried so many different styles and materials to find underwear that’s actually comfortable. These are the absolute best I have tried in five years. I just threw all the rest of them out.
