Description
New York in the Roaring Twenties is set against the backdrop of one of the city's most infamous unsolved murders. In 1923, flapper Dot King is found dead in her Midtown apartment, with chloroform and missing jewels leaving behind a trail of secrets and scandal. This gripping true-crime novel draws together a complex web of characters, including crime reporter Julia Harpman, detective John D. Coughlin, and Ella Bradford, the victim's Harlem maid. As Julia pursues the story, she navigates a male-dominated industry and confronts corruption within the NYPD. The investigation is further complicated by the involvement of powerful figures, including a Philadelphia socialite, an Atlantic City bootlegger, and a sultry Broadway dancer. With each twist, Julia uncovers more about the case, leading her to question what might be even more nefarious than murder. From the glittering lights of Broadway to its darker underbelly, this thriller takes readers on a journey through the city's most mesmerizing mystery.
