Faye Quick is a female private investigator navigating the male-dominated world of 1940s New York. Sandra Scoppettone brings the era to life with period-appropriate slang and social attitudes, while Quick herself is a sharp, independent protagonist who refuses to be sidelined.

The two-book series offers a compact but satisfying look at postwar New York through the lens of classic detective fiction, with a protagonist who stands out in a genre crowded with male PIs.
