Description

In her Fifth Avenue mansion in autumn, 1898, silver heiress Val DeVere learns a third young woman's strangled body has been found nearby in New York's Central Park. The victim could be someone like Val's late mother-or her-for the Valentine Mackle DeVere is one generation from the Irish immigrants who now risk their lives toiling in the city that promised a better life. Heartsick, Val joins her well-connected husband, Roddy (Roderick Windham DeVere), to press the mayor for action, but scandal-ridden city hall finds little time for the case of "disposable" young women who frequent the park at night. A maverick police detective urges the DeVeres to help him find the killer, but his "evidence" ensnares a family friend and could send an innocent man to death row. The couple feel on trial when the detective baits them with Roddy's Old New York heritage: "Tell me this, Mr. DeVere...how many more murders before you and Mrs. DeVere cooperate to save the park your forefathers built?"

Author Biography:

A fresh start for every new book, and author Tichi's zest for America's Gilded Age and its boldface names draws this seasoned writer to a crime fiction series while uncorking the country's cocktail cultures on the printed (and ebook) page. Tichi digs deep into the Vanderbilt University research library to mine the late 1800-1900s history and customs of Society's Four Hundred, its drinks, and the ways high-stakes crimes in its midst make for a gripping Gilded mystery series that rings true to the tumultuous era. The decades of America's industrial titans and Queens of Society have loomed large in Tichi's books for several years, and the titles track her recent projects:1. Civic Passions: Seven Who Launched Progressive America (and What They Teach Us)2. Jack London: A Writer's Fight for a Better America3. What Would Mrs. Astor Do? A Complete Guide to the Manners and Mores of the Gilded Age4. Gilded Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from the Golden Age5. A Gilded Death (crime fiction)6.. Jazz Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from the Roaring Twenties.
