A woman ahead of her time, turn of the century Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is determined to be a private detective. Having inherited the cases of her deceased mentor, Paddy Riley, she's following philandering husbands, tracking down a runaway Dublin debutante, and working in a sweatshop to discover who's stealing dress designs. None of her jobs seem dangerous, at first.

When a woman's body is fished out of the East River, Molly fears it's the missing society girl. Then Molly's sometime beau, police captain Daniel Sullivan, reveals that another corpse may be the girl's scalawag lover, Mike Kelly. Murder iis no place for a lady and every a scrappy Irish immigrant lass may need more than her street smarts to get the truth and get out alive."
