In August 1878, a Jersey City policeman is found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in his own bed, supposedly while his wife lay sleeping beside him unaware. Suspicion immediately falls on the wife and her suspected teenage paramour. Did a twenty-something Jersey girl from the rural farmlands turn city-girl killer? Canary in a Cage: The Smith-Bennett Murder Case is historical fiction based on the true story of the violent killing of Officer Richard Harrison Smith whose wife Jenny Woolley Smith was accused of the murder, arrested and faced the hangman's noose along with a local boy hopelessly infatuated with her.

Maureen Wlodarczyk is an author, columnist, genealogist, speaker, and admitted history addict writing, researching and speaking about historical topics and the excitement of the hunt for our ancestors, whether saints or sinners. She is also an officer and YDNA project administrator with the Flannery Clan organization based in Dublin, Ireland and a member of the Genealogical Society of New Jersey, Hudson County Historical and Genealogical Society and the Irish-American Writers and Artists organization. Maureen writes a twice-monthly local history column titled "Hudson Then . . . Again" for the River View Observer newspaper (www.riverviewobserver.net) and a quarterly genealogy-related column "History & Mystery: Perfect Together" for the e-magazine Garden State Legacy (www.gardenstatelegacy.com). Maureen's first book, Past-Forward: A Three-Decade & Three-Thousand-Mile Journey Home is the story of her 30-year search for her grandmother's Irish ancestral roots and the surprising and poignant discoveries made along the way. Her second book, Young & Wicked: The Death of a Wayward Girl, is the true story of star-crossed first generation Irish-American lovers, one of them a second cousin to Maureen's great-grandmother, who grew up in Jersey City, both becoming young petty criminals who fled to the Bowery in New York City in 1893 to avoid arrest where their life together met a violent end. Maureen has a blog and website: www.past-forward.com.
