Klappentext
"The skill with which Ellen Horan has braided true crime with thoughtful novelizing is pure pleasure. . . . Caleb Carr meets Scott Turow. What could possibly be better?" --- Beverly Swerling, author of City of God
"An impressive blend of imagination and history as it vividly brings to life one of New York's City's most notorious crimes." --- Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of Serena
At once a gripping mystery and a richly detailed excavation of a lost age, 31 Bond Street is a spellbinding tale of murder, sex, greed, and politics in 1857 New York. Author Ellen Horan interweaves fact and fiction---reimagining the sensational nineteenth-century brutal murder that rocked the city a few short years before the Civil War ripped through the fabric of the nation, while transporting readers back to a time that eerily echoes our own.
Though there are no clues to the slaying of wealthy Dr. Harvey Burdell, suspicion quickly falls on Emma Cunningham, the refined, pale-skinned widow who managed his house and servants. An ambitious district attorney seeks a swift conviction, but defense attorney Henry Clinton is a formidable obstacle---a man firmly committed to justice and the law, and to the cause of a frightened, vulnerable woman desperately trying to save herself from the gallows.
Fans of Caleb Carr's The Alienist , Edith Wharton's The House of Myrth , and John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will love the stunning prose and beautiful imagery of this riveting novel.
