The girl in the green dress a mystery featuring Zelda Fitzgerald Cover Image Large Print Book

The girl in the green dress [large print] : a mystery featuring Zelda Fitzgerald / Mariah Fredericks.

Fredericks, Mariah, (author.).

Summary:

"At the dawn of the Jazz Age, Morris Markey arrives in New York to become a writer. Having served in France, he needs to be in a place so distracting he cannot hear himself think. New in town, Markey hovers at the edge of the city's revels, unable to hear the secrets that might give him his first Big Story. Finally, one night he spots Joseph Elwell, a man about town known for courting wealthy married women, with a glorious girl in a dress of silver and dollar green. The next morning, Elwell's housekeeper runs out into the street screaming that Elwell has been shot. Every door and window in the house is locked. Did the ravishing woman kill her paramour? At last, Morris Markey has his story. To penetrate the glittering world of Joseph Elwell, Markey turns to the newly famous Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, who met Elwell the same fateful night he night. Bored while Scott is working on his next novel, Zelda offers to help Markey with his investigation. Together, Markey and Zelda learn that there were many people in Elwell's life who had reason to want him dead. And when a second man is found shot in his home in a very similar way, Markey begins to suspect that the truth may be more complicated--a story so dangerous that after he finishes it three decades later, he himself is found dead in his home, a single bullet through his head." -- Provided by publisher.
