In the summer of 1895, at the height of the Gilded Age, Newport, Rhode Island is the playground of the social elite. And the only thing they fear is scandal. So when, Joe Ballard, a member of a prestigious family is found kneeling over the body of a murdered maid, he turns desperately to the only person he can trust to clear his name - Deanna Randolph, a reluctant ally in this mysterious case.
1895. At the height of the Gilded Age, the social elite spend their summers in Newport, Rhode Island. During her first Newport season, Deanna Randolph attends a ball given in honor of Lord David Manchester, a Barbadian sugar magnate, and his sister, Madeline. When a young made is found dead on the nearby cliffs, suspicion falls on Joseph Ballard, a member of one of the town's most prestigious families. Deanna knows Joe may be a cad, but she knows he isn't a killer. Together they must navigate a world of parties, tennis matches, and séances to find the real murderer.
