When the body of Elma Sands, a young, vibrant Quaker, is found in
the Manhattan Well, New Yorkers cry for blood. Levi Weeks, who boarded at
the same house as Elma, is immediately arrested after gossip says
he's the last person to see her alive. So, how did two of the young
Country's bitterest rivals end up defending Mr. Weeks? Politics and
money, of course; turns out both men owed Week's brother money for
building their homes. Paul Collins offers a fascinating look at this;
America's longest running cold case, including new
(credible) evidence into the murder. This book proves the old adage; the
more things change, the more they stay the same. A very fast paced and
engaging tale perfect for summer reading.
