- Synopsis
- In his latest novel, Southern writer William Baldwin calls upon the true story of famed Charleston newspaper editor Frank Dawson to tell a tale fraught with romance and intrigue. Dawson--a larger-than-life personality revered throughout the nineteenth-century South--was murdered while defending his children's governess from the advances of an unscrupulous doctor who lived next door. Baldwin artfully intertwines details pulled from the personal accounts of those involved in the dramatic series of events with his own inimitable prose. The result is a captivating meld of fact and fiction, set in a tumultuous period in the history of the Holy City that is now only a nostalgic memory.
