Once a fine debutant, Mrs. Peterson capsized her own life with an unsanctioned marriage, tossing her adrift from the vaulted ceilings and expansive drawing rooms of her youth. When widowhood brings her back to Pittsburgh, she stays afloat with the running of a respectable Union Street boarding house. Deep in water, mire, and a mystery. A famous boarder has gone missing during the flood of 1907, and all clues point to murder. A half-heard conversation, a broken knife, cut rope, a missing onyx clock, and blood that can't be explained. Mrs. Peterson fears the truth, yet as the waters rise, they dredge up her past, challenge her present, and force her to consider a new future. An unlikely pair. Mr. Graham rows in at precisely the right moment; an older, dabbling detective with a pragmatic approach to everything he does. The two join forces and, despite a string of hilarious mishaps, commit themselves to a common goal: To solve the mystery of Anna Baker. Set during the Pittsburgh flooding of 1907, Union Street Boarding House is a reworking of the 1913 novel The Case of Jennie Brice by Mary Roberts Rinehart.
