Set amidst the glittering enclaves of money, power, and privilege in America's tumultuous Gilded Age, this richly detailed mystery follows private detective Pamela Thompson into an elite world where fortunes are flaunted and scandals are hidden--one body at time. . .

Death Of A Robber Baron

New York City, 1891. In the spirit of Christmas, Mrs. Pamela Thompson has devoted herself to charity work, even taking an orphaned child into her Greenwich Village townhome. Her husband Jack, an ambitious banker, agrees to such generous acts as long as his wife allows him to invest his time--and her trust fund--in more lucrative opportunities. But when he risks their entire fortune on questionable copper stocks, Pamela ends up losing everything: her house, her inheritance, and even her husband. . .

Penniless, Pamela is forced to move into a boarding house in the Lower East Side and accept a position at Macy's--as a store detective. Displaying an uncanny knack for the job, she's asked to investigate a private matter of thievery at a palatial "cottage" in the Berkshires. Ironically, her employer is none other than Henry Jennings, the infamous "Copper King" who sold bad stocks to her husband. But when the filthy rich scoundrel is found dead in his study, Pamela holds herself accountable--for sorting out this whole sordid business of money, motives. . .and murder.

Great nude shoe!
Size: 10, Color: Nude
Perfect nude dressy heal. Was not uncomfortable at all. I thought my toes would be sliding out. I did put grips on the bottoms because they are a tiny bit slippery and I am prone to falling. Cute and didn’t distract from my dress.

Only wear for short distances
Size: 8, Color: Nude
These heeled sandals were very cute and flattering. After a couple minutes of walking, my feet began to hurt. I got blisters upon removal. A few days later I tried wearing them again, it is still extremely painful. Great for pictures though!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort, Style, and Performance — Perfect for Daily Runs and All-Day Wear!
Size: 11, Color: Black/Dark Smoke Grey
I purchased the Nike Men’s Quest 6 for my son, and he’s been absolutely thrilled with them. From the moment he put them on, he noticed how lightweight and supportive they felt — a great balance between cushioning and responsiveness. He wears them both for running and casual outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. The breathable mesh upper keeps his feet cool even during longer runs, and the midsole cushioning absorbs impact nicely without feeling too soft or unstable. The grip on the outsole provides solid traction on roads and gym floors, giving confidence with every step. Design-wise, they look sleek and modern — the classic Nike styling pairs well with both athletic and casual outfits. After several weeks of use, the shoes still look almost new, showing how well they’re built. Pros: ✅ Lightweight yet supportive — great for running or walking ✅ Comfortable fit right out of the box ✅ Excellent breathability and cushioning ✅ Durable construction that holds up with daily use ✅ Stylish design that transitions easily from workout to casual wear Cons: • Runs slightly narrow, so consider sizing up if between sizes Overall, the Nike Quest 6 offers exceptional comfort and quality for the price. My son says they’re some of the most comfortable shoes he’s ever worn — perfect for both training and everyday wear. If you’re looking for a reliable running shoe that combines performance, durability, and style, this is an excellent choice.

Excellent Running Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Black/University Red/White
The Nike Quest 6 has been a great fit right out of the box. The sizing felt true, and the shoe wrapped comfortably without feeling tight or loose. It was easy to get a secure, natural fit from the first wear. Quality is solid for everyday use. The materials feel well put together, and the shoe holds up nicely for walking and light running. It feels dependable and comfortable for regular wear. What really stood out was the value. The price was much better than what I saw in retail stores, especially for a Nike shoe that performs this well. It’s an easy way to get a reliable running shoe without paying full store pricing. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made shoe that delivers a lot for the cost.
