Society girls try to find a murderer in a city filled with secrets and
stunted by shame, in this queer hysterical thriller by award-winning
author Robin Talley, perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph
Club.
It's 1927 and the strict laws of prohibition have done little to temper
the roaring 20s nightlife, even in the nation's capitol. Everyone knows
the booze has never stopped flowing, especially amongst the rich and
powerful, and seventeen-year-old Gertrude and her best friends Clara
and Milly are determined to get a taste of freedom and liquor,
propriety be damned.
But after sneaking out of the Washington Female Seminary to visit a
speakeasy, they return to discover that their controversial young
headmistress, Mrs. Rose, has been murdered.
Reeling from the death of her beloved mentor, Gertrude enlists her
friends in her quest to clear Mrs. Rose's reputation, while trying to
keep her own intact. But in Prohibition Washington, it's difficult to
sidestep grifters, bootleggers, and shady federal agents when
investigating a murder. And with all the secrets being uncovered,
Gertrude is finding it harder and harder to keep her attraction to her
best friends hidden.
A proper, upscale life is all Gertrude has ever known, but murder sure
makes a gal wonder: is all that glitters really gold?
