This is a riveting novel that draws its inspiration from perhaps the greatest tabloid scandal in 19th-century American history. When the brutally stabbed and nearly decapitated body of a society dentist is found in his townhouse in lower Manhattan, "Who killed Dr. Harvey Burdell?" becomes the burning question consuming all of New York and the rest of America in the years before the Civil War. Ellen Horan's thrilling debut re-examines the case, in this tale of murder, sex, greed, and politics. B&W illustrations throughout.

Historical mystery fiction.
