About This Book
From the author of Amazon's Top 10 Bestselling Literary Fiction novel, BENEATH THE WALL, comes... THE BLUE LUTE A doctoral candidate in history, Lilly Charles lives in a modern-day treasure trove of 1920s architecture-Manhattan's St. Jean Apartments. The former hotel was once in the center of New York City's jazz scene, and holds secrets Lilly is only beginning to discover. A musical star in his own time, Brandon Crowley lived in an age of prohibition and gangsters, surrounded by the glamour of old Hollywood and the comfort of true friendships. As co-owner of the notorious speakeasy, The Blue Lute, he poured his life and love into his business-as a storm fueled by passion, liquor, murder and money was unleashed. And in the midst of it all, Brandon simply ... disappeared. When Lilly sees Brandon in a nearly 80-year-old photograph from the basement of the St. Jean, her reality comes undone. Could he be the same man she just saw arrested for breaking into the building? As Lilly is drawn deeper into the mysteries of Brandon's life, a new storm of desire and danger begins to brew. Beneath the silvery moon and glitter of Times Square, an epic love story across the decades is about to unfold.
