Shadows on the Ivy - Paperback

by Lea Wait (Author)

The third antique print mystery in Lea Wait's Agatha Award-nominated Maggie Summer series which The New York Times Book Review says, "beckons like a weekend in the country."

Antique print dealer Maggie Summer is teaching a college course on "Myths in American Culture," using prints by Currier & Ives and other 19th-century artists to illustrate her points. As a faculty advisor, she's also dealing with the problems of students who are single parents: problems that turn dangerous when a young mother is poisoned, and events twist Maggie's own thoughts about motherhood. She suspects a sinister connection between the past and the present, and her prints could provide valuable clues. But some secrets are too hard to see--even for an expert like Maggie--and some crimes hit too close to home...
