"The Roosevelt Affair," by Adam Meyer, in Crimecopia: The Not So Frail Detective Agency, Murderous Ink Press, 2026.
A nice straightforward historical P.I. story with the bonus of real people included among the characters.
It's Albany, New York, 1932. Rosie Perkins, private eye, gets a mysterious and not too friendly summons to the governor's mansion. Seems the great man was indiscreet with another woman and he and his aides are desperate to learn who took the photographs and get them back. This is crucial because the governor has big plans for the coming year.
His name, of course, is Franklin Roosevelt.
Rosie meets with him, then with wife Eleanor who seems less concerned about her husband's infidelity than his possibly damaged electability.
There will be some surprises along the way to a happy ending.
