Jailbird Detective
Helen Jacey
A female sleuth crime thriller set in the 1940s featuring edgy female protagonist Elvira Slate, a former criminal and gangster's moll, who trades Holloway Prison to become a Hollywood Private Detective. Former south London moll, Jemima Day (Elvira's real identity) flees England as she's released from Holloway Prison on VE Day. Her plans to make up for lost time are foiled when she confronts a sexual predator. Caught by a corrupt cop, she is given a choice - face the hangman in England or become his personal errand girl with a phony identity. Jemima becomes Elvira Slate, but she has no intention of being controlled by any man for long. When she discovers foul play leading to the death of innocents and the law turning a blind eye, Elvira risks her life to investigate. Ex-con and part vigilante, Elvira follows her own moral compass to put things right. Knowing what it's like to be judged and live by patriarchal double standards, Elvira can read both motives and men like no other. Jailbird Detective is feminist crime noir and the first in the Elvira Slate Investigations crime detective series. It follows one woman's odyssey of reinvention and self-determination to become the most unlikely 1940s female detective.
