WHAT STARTED IT ALL - THE CASE OF BONNIE AND CLYDE
A notorious criminal duo with nothing to lose. A sassy Pinkerton Lady with loads to prove. Who will prevail?
Dallas, 1932
Laurel’s Pinkerton agent husband, Tom, disappeared from their home, only to return with a suspiciously blank memory. What’s a respectable Mississippi lady to do? Unravel the mystery herself, of course!
However, that’s not the only case that needs to be solved.
In Rome, Texas, a young couple—who history will remember as the infamous Bonnie and Clyde—have yet to make a name for themselves. But their crime spree has begun. After robbing a bank in broad daylight, the pair kidnapped the manager. Only by eliciting help does Laurel hold any hope of tracking down the missing manager.
Forced to partner with the husband she can’t quite trust, Laurel goes in search of the real story behind the robbery. Can they work together to untangle the web of lies tightening around them and uncover the truth? Or will they be the first to meet Bonnie and Clyde’s Tommy Guns?
Somewhere between the places and characters of O Brother Where Art Thou and the gritty tales of Raymond Chandler is the adventures of Laurel, Tom and Major Goodall. Seen mostly through Laurel’s eyes, it’s a twist on classic PI stories of yore.
