The 'Father of Greater New York' is dead. Shot outside his Park
Avenue mansion in the year of our Lord, 1903. In the hour of his
death, will the truth of his life finally break free? Born to a
struggling farming family in 1820, Andrew Haswell Green was a
self-made man who reshaped Manhattan, built Central Park and turned
New York into a modern metropolis. Now, at eighty-three, when he
thought the world could hold no more surprises, he is murdered. As
the detective assigned to the case traces his ghost across the
city, other spectres appear: a wealthy courtesan; a broken-hearted
man in a bowler hat; and an ambitious politician, Samuel, whose
lifelong friendship was a source of joy and frustration. In a life
of industry and restraint, where is the space for love? As
restlessly inventive and absorbing as its protagonist, The Great
Mistake is the story of a city, and a singular man, transformed by
longing.
