Maggie in the Underworld: Part One



I've started a new book... my 20th... and my third effort at a novel.  Previous efforts are

"Why My Dad Hates Ice Cream" 
And "Ned McAdoo and the Molly Maguires"

"Maggie in the Underworld" picks up where "Ned..." left off.  Freelance journalist Maggie Mulhearn gets pulled into an effort by her friend and sometime-researcher Eddie Ireland to rescue Dalinda Garcia, a young Latina victim of human trafficking.  Maggie gets involved on several levels: a concerned human being... a writer hungry for another Pulitzer Prize... and as Dalinda's lover.

Part One, which can be accessed via the link below, takes place in Philadelphia and ends with Maggie on a tramp steamer headed for Shanghai.
