Description

From the acclaimed writer of Atticus and Mariette in Ecstasy comes a fashionable book occur the hard-drinking, fast-living Nyc of the Jazz Era that uses two fans in a torrid affair on an arc of homicide and intimate self-damage. Centered on a genuine situation whose lurid facts offered an incredible number of papers and scandalized Americans in 1927, acclaimed author Ralph Hansen’s newest work is just a tour-de force of pending assault and sexual pressure. Caught in a loveless relationship, Ruth Snyder is just a sexy, careless, and entirely amazing lady who desires not just to flee her spouse but he die—and the earlier the greater. No less unhappy in their own tiresome relationship is Judd Grey, a dapper corset-and-brassiere salesperson who moves the Northeast offering his wares.
