About

The Havistock family was rich. Discretion and respectability wrapped round them like a bandage, preserving them from the infectious ills of Manhattan life. Drugs, violence and madness might breed and spread like 20th century plagues out there on the city streets, but the family was safe behind its cordon sanitaire of lawyers, accountants and servants. Until the theft. Until One tine, rare coin, the pride of Archibald Havistock's superb collection, went missing between his luxury mid-town apartment and the auction house where Mary Lou Bateson worked. Then, under suspicion herself, she set to work to unravel the mystery - and unwittingly began to lay bare a contagion of sexual corruption and greet that was poisoning and destroying the family from within.
