This series takes place in the 1940’s, and the motivating factor is the relationship of the main character, Allie Fortune, with a man who may or may not be dead. She fell in love with him before he went off to fight in WWII, and perhaps even worse, before she realized she loved him. Now he has disappeared and she can’t move on with her life, romantically at least. Meanwhile, she has become a private investigator and has developed a stellar reputation in the business.  As Miss Fortune came to an end, Allie had learned that her old flame was indeed still alive but missing, somewhere in Europe.
