Who killed Marjorie Reems? That is the dilemma facing detective Mike Fargo when the body of the beautiful, young heiress is found in the doorway of a posh Park Avenue building just a block from her home in October of 1922. What Fargo doesn’t understand is why the daughter of one of New York City’s wealthiest men is dressed like a common flapper.

He soon learns that Marjorie Reems left home some time earlier, rejecting her parents' plans for college and instead looking to have fun, adopting the flapper dress and lifestyle, drinking and dancing the night away. But why? Through a friend of Marjorie’s, Lily Douglas, Fargo learns that the once emerging society girl has had a succession of short term boyfriends, each one a little more sleazy than the last, and several who are affiliated with organized crime.

What caused Marjorie to descend into a reckless and dangerous world inhabited by gangsters and killers? That’s what Fargo has to find out. With a surprise waiting around each corner in this fast-paced novella, the resolute detective has to move quickly since the pressure to solve a high society murder comes right from the top of the city’s food chain. What he ultimately learns will shock 1920s society as much as it will today’s reader.
