From the award-winning author of the Kate Shugak Mysteries, a thrilling new detective series set during America's wild boom time of the nineteenth century.
WELCOME TO THE GILDED AGE. WHERE NOT EVERYTHING GLITTERS.
1890. The New Mexico Territory is a lawless frontier where criminals steal money and land alike with impunity. Everyone wears a six-gun and is ready and willing to draw it.
In the new city of Montaña Roja, Fred Harvey’s growing empire is threatened by the robberies plaguing his newest Harvey House restaurant. To get justice, he needs a skilled detective to go undercover and procure answers to questions the law will not ask.
The assignment falls to Clare Wright, a young Pinkerton agent. Disguised as one of Harvey’s famous hostesses, Clare travels west where she risks being exposed at every step of her investigation. To get answers – and to get out alive – there are only two things she can trust: her instincts, and her derringer.

Critic reviews
Clare is an appealing protagonist, and Stabenow does an excellent job incorporating real historical figures into a nicely paced story. For fans of the author and of historical mysteries.
The Harvey Girl marks the debut of a brilliant and charming new detective series. This mystery is packed with fascinating historic details, vivid characters, and a clever plot that moves as fast as the Old West trains so beautifully depicted in the story. As a New Mexican with an interest in the real history of the Harvey Girls, I adored this novel and can’t wait for the next one. Highly, highly recommended!
A fast, fun and fascinating read. I want more, as soon as possible.
