No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Newport Summer 1899βyachts, balls, and famed artists eager to paint portraits of Societyβs βQueens.β
Western silver heiress Val Mackle DeVere (Mrs. Roderick W.) agrees to βsitβ for a portrait for her beloved Roddy, only to stumble on a scene of bloody, grisly homicide at an art gallery.
Like a figure from Pompeii, the dead Newport gallery manager screams in silence, his hands like claws clutching at a gilt frame pulled down over his head and shoulders while blood darkens his cream-colored suit.
Impulsive, Val reaches for the murder weapon and will find herself suspected, shamed, and shunned as she seeks the killer while learning yet again a lesson taught by Cornelius Vanderbilt IV: βNo city on earth is as hostile to outsiders as Newport.β
