‘Show some respect, young man…
Just what was this young woman to you?’ Jackie looked into the nurse’s pinkface. ‘Nance was the bestfriend I ever had,’ she said. ‘The only friend I ever had.’ Jackie is Jack Cross to everyone except Nance, a Wild West show trick shooter in turn of the century New York who has her own secrets to hide. A slick fielding second baseman with a good bat, Jackie must never drop her disguise if she is to continue to play professional baseball. But when Nance is murdered by a knife thrower who does know Jackie’s secret, the young ballplayer takes off on a transatlantic chase that changes her life. Set on two continents, in three different time periods, with a fascinating cast of characters including Buffalo Bill Cody, Jack the Ripper, and a musical star named Ruby the Red who has still another hidden life, Cutting Loose is a multi layered page turner filled with insights and surprises. Michael Z. Lewin is the award winning author of ten adult detective novels.
