The giantess put out her hand to shake Matilda's, enveloping it completely, and pressed into Matilda's palm a folded piece of paper. 'Help me.'
Matilda Hayward is determined to have a career. After all, it is 1888! While reporting for the Women's Journal newspaper, Matilda is sent to cover the visiting carnival and to interview Mrs Anna Tufton, a giantess. During the interview, the giantess slips Matilda a note begging for her help to escape from the show her husband forces her to do. But when the giantess's husband turns up murdered, the giantess is a likely suspect.

Matilda enlists her lawyer brother, Amos, to help prove the giantess is no killer and to free her from a life of exploitation. But a close family friend, Detective Thomas Ashdown - who has feelings for Matilda, having known her since childhood - would prefer Matilda was nowhere near his murder case.

There is mystery, danger, and love afoot as Matilda pits her wits -- and heart -- against a dangerous foe!

Perfect for fans of PBS Masterpiece's Miss Scarlet & the Duke, and readers of Irina Shapiro, Lynn Messina, Andrea Penrose, and C.S. Harris.
