Secret of the White Rose: A Novel (Detective Simon Ziele #3)
by Stefanie PintoffThe third novel in the Edgar Award–winning detective series set in Gilded Age NYC is “guaranteed to grip readers to the very last page” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).The murder of Judge Hugo Jackson is out of Detective Simon Ziele’s jurisdiction in more ways than one. For one, it’s high-profile enough to command the attention of the notorious new police commissioner, since Judge Jackson was presiding over the sensational trial of Al Drayson. Drayson, an anarchist, set off a bomb at a Carnegie family wedding, but instead of killing millionaires, it killed passersby, including a child. The dramatic trial has captured the full attention of 1906 New York City.Furthermore, Simon’s assigned precinct on Manhattan’s West Side includes the gritty Tenderloin but not the tonier Gramercy Park, which is where the judge is found in his locked town house with his throat slashed on the night before the jury is set to deliberate. But his widow insists on calling her husband’s old classmate criminologist, Alistair Sinclair, who in turn enlists Ziele’s help. Together they must steer Sinclair’s unorthodox methods past a police force that is so focused on rounding up Drayson’s supporters that they’ve all but rejected any other possibilities.

Sin embargo, ¿cómo descubres la verdad acerca de alguien que ya no está entre nosotros? El autor Barclay Quinton escribió Fabringjay, la historia de un hombre que llevó una vida secreta durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cual fue bien recibido por los críticos, pero fue ignorado por los lectores; e Illicit Lust, un libro que él odiaba y que escribió solamente para satisfacer a su representante y editora. Illicit Lust se convirtió en un éxito de ventas, un hecho que molestó a Barclay. Sin embargo, su éxito sí abrió puertas y él comenzó a investigar para su próxima novela, la historia de un mafioso envejecido. La investigación de Barclay lo puso en contacto con muchos sujetos despreciables, incluyendo a villanos, detectives privados sospechosos y gerentes de clubes nocturnos. El reporte oficial de la muerte de Barclay declaró que él se había suicidado. Sin embargo, una amiga cercana insistía en que Barclay había sido asesinado y yo fui contratada para investigar. Mientras tanto, más cerca de casa, yo descubrí un secreto, y la verdad, acerca de mi pareja de años. ¿Era él el hombre de mis sueños o estaba nuestra relación a punto de terminar? Secretos y Mentiras ― una historia de amor, de engaño, de las muchas caras que todos poseemos: la cara pública, la cara privada y la profundamente personal.
