New York in the Roaring Twenties—a riveting true-crime novel,
based on one of the most notorious unsolved murders of the era,
where power, politics, and secrets conspire to bury the truth.
Manhattan, 1923. Scandalous flapper Dot King is found dead in her
Midtown apartment, a bottle of chloroform beside her and a fortune
in jewels missing. Dot’s headline-making murder grips the city.
It also draws a clutch of lovers, parasites, and justice seekers
into one of the city’s most mesmerizing mysteries. Among them:
Daily News crime reporter Julia Harpman, chasing the story while
navigating a male-dominated industry; righteous NYPD detective John
D. Coughlin, struggling against city corruption; and Ella Bradford,
the victim’s Harlem maid, closest confidante, and keeper of
secrets. Adding fuel to the already volatile crime: a politically
connected Philadelphia socialite, an Atlantic City bootlegger,
Dot’s dicey gigolo lover, a sultry Broadway dancer, and a cagey
sugar daddy guarding secrets of his own. From Broadway’s
glittering lights to its sordid underbelly to the machinations of
the country’s most powerful men, Julia embarks on a quest for
justice. What she discovers, twist after breathtaking twist, might
be even more nefarious than murder.
