Homicide detective Michael McKenna doubts her guilt, but an ambitious government man schemes to lever the homicide and ensuing espionage accusations into a political cause célèbre.

Critic Reviews: "This winning collaborative debut by Dobson, author of the Professor Karen Pelletier mysteries, and Myers, author of the Baroque series, introduces two determined female amateur sleuths operating just as the United States enters World War II. Recommend for fans of Rhys Bowens Molly Murphy series and Sarah Shabers Louise Pearlie mysteries." (Library Journal) "Dobsonand Myers collaborate to introduce a planned series on wartime New York. Colorful characters and the evocation of Gotham in the 1940s: the Bund, America First, egg creams, Schraffts, Horn & Hardart. More, please." (Kirkus Reviews) "Face of the Enemyis much more than a whodunit - with New York City as its backdrop, this mystery explores how a diverse cast of characters attempt to make sense of the most seminal event in the 20th century - World War II. The plight of a Japanese immigrant artist, pursued by both the FBI and New York Police Department, is especially moving. If you are not a fan of 1940s American history, you will become one!" (Naomi Hirahara, author of the Mas Arai mysteries)
