The Unsealing

Buffalo, New York, 1901 … a muscular, young city, Queen of the Lakes … The Electric City … where the money spent to build Newport mansions and Park Avenue townhouses is made, plays host to the world’s greatest fair, the Pan-American Exposition and its 8,000,000 guests. And less than a mile from the great spectacle, a web of love, lust, and intrigue is forming among the elite Ashwood Set. But life is never fast enough, or high enough, for the Ashwood Set, who plunge headlong into a deadly whirlpool of official corruption, financial deceit, and infidelity that can only end in disaster … while the fate of beautiful, aspiring detective Sarah Payne and her dreams of fulfillment hang precariously in the balance. Pitting detective against detective, husband against wife, and set against the backdrop of Gilded Age splendor and excess, The Unsealing is a gripping, psychological tale of forbidden pleasures and fathomless pain. Contains three original interior scratchboard illustrations.
