Opis

Winter breaks are supposed to be exciting, but this one is murder. A novella of suffragists and secrets. In December 1918, the Great War is over and everyone in the small town of Cora, Georgia is ready to relax. Stepping off the train from school, sixteen-year-old Emmie McAllister looks forward to a pleasant Christmas, one in which she can fix up a motorcycle, wear trousers, and enjoy the look on her mother's face. Yet the holidays turn darker when Emmie and her least favorite classmate, prim and proper Dessa, stumble across the murdered body of the town's most prominent suffrage activist. Emmie finds herself saddled with Dessa as both girls are determined to help find the killer. But the more they poke around, the harder life gets for outspoken women in Cora. With a mysterious stalker, anonymous threats, and more, if Emmie and Dessa don't work together and find the culprit quickly, they could be the next victims.
