Items related to The Manhattan Island Clubs: A Novel
In the summer of 1906, a member of the Metropolitan Club - one of New York's most prestigious and powerful men's clubs - is brutally murdered within its walls. The man eyewitnesses claim committed the crime was, in actuality, across town in plain view of a hundred reliable witnesses at the time of the murder.
For J. P. Morgan, founding member of the Metropolitan Club, there is only one man who can be entrusted with the swift and proper resolution of this impossible crime -- Sheriff John Le Brun of Jekyl Island, Georgia. Thrust in the midst of Manhattan's social and intellectual elite - including actor William Gillette, newspaperman Joseph Pulitzer, and financial colossal J. P. Morgan himself - Le Brun finds himself in a deadly struggle and race against time with an unseen foe, a mind perhaps as nimble as his own.
