“A beautiful, haunted woman in a glittering and corrupt era takes centre stage in this sizzling novel based on a true sex scandal that rocked New York City in the Roaring Twenties.
Brought to life are the 1920s – this century’s wildest decade, when New York was the capital of pleasure and anything went for a price.  To this city of bright lights and dark corners comes the lovely, innocent Emily Stanton, hoping for fame on the stage.  What she finds is marriage to Warren Matthews, who has hooked his wagon to the gravy train of Tammany Hall’s political corruption and is riding it to the social heights.  When the marriage turns into a nightmare of brutality, Emily flees with her young daughter, Jessica, only to find herself the victim of a vicious frame-up master-minded by her husband to gain custody of Jessica.”
