| Gramercy Park |
|
New York City, 1894. To Gramercy Park, bordered by elegant town houses, cloistered behind its high iron fence, comes Mario
Alfieri, a celebrated tenor and the toast of Europe. Poised for his premier at the Metropolitan Opera, the summit of society,
Alfieri needs a refuge from the clamor of New York's elite . . . and from the eager women who rule it. He finds it, he thinks,
at Gramercy Park, in the elegant mansion of the recently deceased Henry Ogden Slade. The house is available, but not quite
empty. Clara Adler, Slade's former ward, lives there still, friendless and alone. Who is this bewitching young woman? Why
did Slade take her into his home, only to leave her penniless at his death? And what tragedies and terrors have left Clara
little more than a pale and frightened ghost, haunting the deserted mansion? Mystified, then enchanted, Alfieri is soon involved
in an intrigue that spans two decades and pits him against a vicious enemy who swears to destroy both him and the woman he
loves . . . and whose weapons are scandal, murder, and the revelations of Clara's past...
