Veiled in Smoke (The Windy City Saga, Book 1)

Veiled in Smoke is the first novel in Jocelyn Green’s The Windy City Saga, a historical mystery set in late-1800s Chicago against the backdrop of the Great Chicago Fire. Sisters Meg and Sylvie Townsend run their family bookshop while caring for their father, Stephen, a Civil War veteran still deeply affected by his time as a prisoner of war. When the Great Fire tears through the city, the sisters lose their livelihood and are separated from their father during a desperate escape through the burning streets.

In the aftermath, the family is reunited only to face a new nightmare when a close friend is murdered and Stephen is accused of the crime. Declared unstable and committed to the Cook County Insane Asylum, he faces a grim fate unless Meg can uncover the truth. Homeless, grieving, and determined, Meg teams up with a newspaper reporter to untangle lies, secrets, and corruption in a city rising from ashes. Rich in historical detail, Veiled in Smoke blends mystery, family loyalty, and resilience in a gripping story of survival and justice.
