Amid the hushed city, two hearts must navigate danger and deception, bound by a love that outshines the stars.
Katherine Schneider’s life as a dentist in 1913 New York is upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help from the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has long admired from afar.
Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings toward Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark history is something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the line, he works alongside her through the nights as they unravel the criminal conspiracy that threatens her . . . even as he keeps his deepest secrets hidden at all costs.
Join award-winning author Elizabeth Camden for a sweeping and romantic adventure of dangerous secrets and wounded hearts, fighting to overcome the darkness while the rest of the city sleeps.
New York City serves as the backdrop for a riveting new series packed with mystery, suspense, and a bit of romance.
Author Elizabeth Camden delivers a unique storyline in While the City Sleeps. Set in 1913, the story follows a young female dentist who learns of a terrorist plot from a medicated patient.
Katherine reaches out to Lieutenant Jonathan Birch for assistance since he has served as her nightly escort for two years. She’s more than a bit infatuated with him, but he hasn’t initiated anything more than friendship.
What she doesn’t know is that Jonathan is keeping a powerful secret that prevents him from acting on his feelings. When Katherine is put in danger, Jonathan will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Camden’s writing style creates a compelling story that sucks readers into the time period. The characters are multi-dimensional, providing a variety of interesting components. It was especially intriguing to picture the women living in the Martha Washington Hotel caring for the barn owl.
