The Girl at Central

MP3 Audio CD. Molly Morganthau is a day operator in the telephone altercation and assists in solving a murder mystery.

In the opening pages of the novel, Molly Morganthau introduced herself as a day operator in the telephone exchange at Longwood, New Jersey, 23 years of age, ebony skinned, slender, and as for her physical appearance well, mark it as average and do not mind of such. Her name is Morganthau because her father was a Polish Jew a garment laborer on pants but her two first names, Mary McKenna, are from her mother, who was from County Galway, Ireland. Molly grew in an East Side high-rise, but she studied at the Grammar school and all throughout the High and she is not tossing flowers at herself when she says she created a fine record. That is how she becomes bold enough to compose this tale but you will find for yourself. Just only bear in mind that she is more comfortable in front of a telephone exchange than at a reception desk.
