From the million-copybestselling author of The Frozen River and ‘a genius of historical fiction’ (Daily Telegraph), Ariel Lawhon reimagines the tantalising suspense surrounding a scandalous murder mystery that rocked America.

One summer night in 1930, Judge Joseph Crater steps into a New York City cab and is never heard from again. Behind this great man are three women, each with her own tale to tell: Stella, his fashionable wife, the picture of propriety; Maria, their steadfast maid, indebted to the judge; and Ritzi, his showgirl mistress, willing to seize any chance to break out of the chorus line.

As the twisted truth emerges, Ariel Lawhon’s wickedly entertaining debut mystery transports us into the smoky jazz clubs, seedy backstage dressing rooms and shadowy streets beneath the Art Deco skyline.

Reseñas de la crítica

'This book is more meticulously choreographed than a chorus line. It all pays off … A second reading, like a second cocktail, is almost better than the first.'
New York Times Book Review

‘A genius of historical fiction’
Daily Telegraph
'Inspired by a real-life unsolved mystery, this mesmerising novel features characters that make a lasting impression.'
'A great story, told with verve and feeling ... Lawhon walks one of fiction’s trickiest tightropes, creating a novel that is both genuinely moving and full of pulpy fun.'
'A page-turner filled with glitz and glamour as well as murder, greed, and deceit.'
‘A genuinely surprising whodunit.’ (USA Today)
'Fresh and imaginative. . . . A sordid portrait of mobsters and mayhem, corruption and carnage, greed and graft . . . [Lawhon] slyly builds the suspense to a stunning revelation.'
'A gripping, fast-paced noir novel. . . . Lawhon brings fresh intrigue to this tale. . . . [and] captures a New York City period full of high-kicking showgirls, mob-linked speakeasies and Tammany Hall political scandal.'
'A romp through New York in the late ’20s ... Populated by gangsters and crooked politicians, society ladies and dancers, this story is nothing like your day-to-day life and yet ... you will find the three women mentioned in the title strangely recognisable.'
'Vivid and unsettling, with a finale as startling as the pop of a gun.' (Caroline Leavitt, bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This Tomorrow)
'A stylish homage to noir ... This fun, fast-paced novel has it all: speakeasies, gangsters, show girls, and not one, not two, but three women scorned. A real page-turner.' (Melanie Benjamin, bestselling author of The Aviator’s Wife)
