From the ballrooms and mansions of Denver’s newly wealthy, to the seamy life of desperate women, Fallen Women illuminates the darkest places of the human heart. It
is the spring of 1885 and wealthy New York socialite Beret Osmundsen
has been estranged from her younger sister, Lillie, for a year when she
gets word from her aunt and uncle that Lillie has died suddenly in
Denver.  What they do not tell her is that Lillie had become a
prostitute and was brutally murdered in the brothel where she had been
living.  When Beret discovers the sordid truth of Lillie’s death, she
makes her way to Denver, determined to find her sister’s murderer. 
Detective Mick McCauley may not want her involved in the case, but Beret
is determined, and the investigation soon takes her from the dangerous,
seedy underworld of Denver’s tenderloin to the highest levels of Denver
society.  Along the way, Beret not only learns the depths of Lillie’s
depravity, but also exposes the sinister side of Gilded Age ambition in
the process.   

 Sandra Dallas once again delivers a
page-turner filled with mystery, intrigue, and the kind of intricate
detail that truly transports you to another time and place.
