NOVEMBER RAIN

Charlotte Frayne’s boss, Mr. Gilmore, travels to Europe in the  fall of 1936 on a mysterious trip, leaving her in charge of the  detective agency. The redoubtable Mrs. Jessop hires Charlotte to  investigate the untimely death of her son, a disfigured and injured  veteran of the Great War. The police ruled it a suicide, but Mrs. Jessop  doesn’t agree and wants Charlotte to find out what really happened.  

On the same day, Charlotte is hired to infiltrate a small women’s  wear manufacturer to uncover communist agitators the owner believes are  responsible for the labour unrest in his company. When the factory  supervisor is discovered murdered on the job the same day Charlotte  turns up for her first shift at Ladies’ Superior Clothing, she finds  herself seconded by the police in their investigations.
