Synopsis: In Bury Me Deep, "Megan Abbott delivers. She is simply one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation" (Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of What the Dead Know). * Edgar® Award winner: With her first three novels, megan Abbott has been a two-time nominee for crime writing's top honor, the edgar® Award, and now a winner for her third novel, Queenpin. The prize has cemented Abbott's place as "the reigning crown princess of noir" (Booklist). * Jazz age caper: Synonymous with the rise of modern-style corruption and louche social mores, the Jazz Age is one of the most colorful periods in American history, times notorious for inciting scandalous crimes. Steeped in authentic period detail, Bury Me Deep resounds to the present day with echoes of doomed love and the tragedy it wrought. * "The trunk murderess": Bury Me Deep turns on the indelible details of a double murder whose victims are dismembered and concealed in trunks bound by train for Los Angeles. As a portrayal of an accused murderess (dubbed "Tiger Woman," "The Blonde Butcher" and "The Velvet Tigress") trapped by circumstance of gender, class, and, most of all, the blindness of passion, the novel is an astounding feat of suspense and intrigue.
