Summary:
"The narrative of Details Are Unprintable primarily unfolds over a seven-month period from October 1943 to April 1944 -- from the moment the body of twenty-two-year old Patricia Burton
Lonergan
is discovered in the bedroom of her New York City Beekman Hill apartment, to the arrest of her husband of two years,
Wayne
Lonergan
, for her murder, and his subsequent trial and conviction. But this story goes back in time to the 1920s, when
Wayne
Lonergan
grew up in Toronto and then forward to his post-prison life following his deportation to Canada. It is the chronicle of
Lonergan
in denial as a bisexual or gay man living in an intolerant and morally superior heterosexual world; and of Patricia, rich and entitled, a seeker of attention, who loved a night out on the town -- all set against the fast pace of New York's ostentatious café society. Part True Crime and part a social history of New York City in the 1940s, this book transports readers to the New York World's Fair of 1939 when Patricia's father William Burton first encountered
Lonergan
; the Stork Club, 21 Club, and El Morocco to experience with Patricia a night of drinking champagne cocktails and dancing; and the muggy New York courtroom where
Lonergan
's fate was decided. What truly happened on that tragic night in October 24, 1943? Should we accept
Lonergan
's confession at face value as the jury did? Or was he indeed a victim of physical and mental abuse by the state prosecutors and the police, as he maintained for the rest of his life? This book considers these, and other, key questions."--Publisher.
