Description
This highly anticipated debut novel by Robert Brighton is inspired by a true crime 'murder
of the century' and transports us to Buffalo, New York, set against the backdrop of Gilded
Age splendor and excess...
Named BookLife "Editor's Pick" - "... Written with grace and power ..."
Love, Lust, and Murder in the Gilded Age
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.
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.
The Unsealing is a gripping, psychological tale of forbidden pleasures and fathomless pain.
