But the invitation to Coney Island is unwelcome. Despite hailing from one of America's richest families, Peggy would much rather spend the summer working at the Moonrise Bookstore than keeping up appearances with New York City socialites and her snobbish, controlling family. But soon it transpires that the hedonism of Coney Island affords Peggy the freedom she has been yearning for, and it's not long before she finds herself in love with a troubled pier-side artist of humble means, whom the Batternberg patriarchs would surely disapprove of. Disapprove they may, but hidden behind their pomposity lurks a web of deceit, betrayal and deadly secrets. And as bodies begin to mount up amidst the sweltering clamour of Coney Island, it seems the powerful Batternbergs can get away with anything...even murder."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heiresses $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social status $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Corruption $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200303015016.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200225011048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB8EF450579C11EA884155F596128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
