Synopsis
The ROOT OF THE MATTER is the second novel in Roberta Rogow's Pettigrew & Roth Mystery Series set in 1870 New York. The sudden entrance of a dying seaman disrupts a quiet backyard supper party. Uncle Ephraim Pettigrew, his niece Peggy, and his partner Joshua Roth, find themselves embroiled in a case involving rare plants, a ferocious alley cat, and a few family skeletons. Assistant District Attorney Michael Riley joins Joshua and Peggy as they spend a hot summer day chasing a killer from the Hudson River waterfront to the mansions lining Madison Avenue. Glimpses of Commodore Vanderbilt and Boss Tweed enliven this tale of murder, greed and secret passion in Old New York
