Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Death Trust: A Novel
The pomp and revelry of the season were over. The earth began once more to gleam in emerald attire. New Orleans heard no more the deafening roar of the Mississippi, as it plunged in white fury toward its eternity, the expanding gulf. As the watery thunder subsided, so did the noisy cymbals of society. As the tufted grass burst from the esplanades and carpeted the lawns, and the spring buds expanded their petals to the kisses of dew and sunbeam, Evelyn Weldon declared her imten tion of returning to her home, whence she had come for the winter's visit to her mother's sister.
