War Against Miss Winter

It's 1943, and the war in Europe and the Pacific is escalating. At home in New York City, ordinary citizens are feeling the effects as the war has slowly taken over nearly every part of their lives, with food rations, frequent air raids, blackouts and propaganda signs delivering ominous warnings about the enemy. Against this backdrop, Rosie Winter has her own problems to deal with: her boyfriend unexpectedly enlisted in the Navy and she hasn't heard from him in weeks; she hasn't had an acting job in six months; and her theatrical rooming house is threatening to throw her out if she doesn't get cast in something soon. To top it off she's been forced to take a parttime job as a clerk for a lowbrow detective agency. When her boss turns up dead, Rosie finds herself caught up in a mystery that involves the mob, the theater crowd, Manhattan's high society, and a missing (and notorious) script. Led by the unforgettable Rosie Winter, THE WAR AGAINST MISS WINTER is an exceptionally evocative and original novel that beautifully brings to life the people and the places of World War II.Haines, Kathryn Miller is the author of 'War Against Miss Winter ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780061139789 and ISBN 0061139785.
