Cad Metti, The Female Detective Strategist; Or, Dudie Dunne Again in the Field

On a moonlit stretch of Coney Island, a sharply dressed young lady and her sleek companion pause as three shadowy figures plot their next move. The lady, Cad Metti, is hailed as one of the brightest minds in detective work, while her partner Dudie Dunne hides behind a harmless “dude” façade to stay one step ahead of his foes. When a government agent recruits them to dismantle a sprawling counterfeit ring, the pair find themselves thrust into a high‑stakes hunt that begins at the very edge of the boardwalk.

The gang they chase blends the glitter of New York society with the grit of its poorest neighborhoods, using beautiful women and ruthless assassins to keep their operations invisible. Armed with only a few cryptic clues and a generous, secret budget, Cad and Dudie must navigate elite parties, clandestine workshops, and dangerous streets to locate the hidden leaders. Their blend of intellect, daring, and quick‑thinking promises a chase that will test the limits of nerve and courage.
