![]() ![]() ![]() We also meet a full cast of vibrant characters that support Hetty and Benjy in their business, and I adored and felt as close to the supporting cast as I did with our leads. Married couple Hetty and Benjy are the main characters in the story, investigators or "conductors" solving disappearances and murders that the police won't seem to take an interest in.

The Conductors is a debut novel from Nicole Glover full of substance and emotion, and I am in awe of her creative prowess. Hetty held out a hand to the girl, much as she'd done many times before, and said, "Someone here to help." "You summon birds, walk into gunfire with little pause, and make people vanish into the air." ![]() ![]() After achieving prominence as a gangster, Capone was dubbed Scarface by the press, a nickname he intensely disliked.
