Beverly Swerling is a writer, consultant, and amateur historian. She lives in New York City with her husband.
"Love, life, adventure, big business and the dazzling glamour and
appalling squalor of the city that never sleeps. Even way back in
the 1860s." --Anne Bendheim, Asbury Park Press (New Jersey)
"Riotously entertaining . . . Clearly, if Swerling had been my
history teacher, I would have paid closer attention." --Ron
Charles, The Washington Post
"Swerling nimbly weaves fact-based history and fast-paced fiction
into a vivid tableau of 1870s Manhattan." --Entertainment
Weekly
"With a fast-paced, complex plot showcasing opulent Fifth Avenue
mansions, Wall Street pandemonium, deals both fair and underhand,
and the rising influence of the ethnic gangs, Swerling expertly
interlaces the stories of a Gilded Age couple and their magnificent
city." --Sarah Johnson, Booklist
