Although she's newly married to the hottest writer in America, and one half of the literary scene's \"it\" couple, Zelda is at loose ends while Scott works on his next novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful and the Damned\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, Atlanta journalist Morris Markey has arrived in New York and is lost in every way possible. Recently returned from the war and without connections, he hovers at the edge of the city's revels, unable to hear the secrets that might give him his first big story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen notorious man-about-town Joseph Elwell is found shot through the head in his swanky townhouse, the fortunes the two southerners collide when they realize they were both among the last to see him alive. Zelda encountered Elwell at the scandalous Midnight Frolic revue on the night of his death, and Markey saw him just hours before with a ravishing mystery woman dressed in green. Markey has his story. Zelda has her next adventure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs they investigate which of Elwell's many lovers--or possibly an enraged husband--would have wanted the dapper society man dead, Zelda sweeps Markey into her New York, the heady, gaudy Jazz Age of excess and abandon, as the lost generation takes its first giddy steps into a decade-long spree. Everyone has come to \u003ci\u003edo something\u003c\/i\u003e, the more scandalous the better; Zelda is hungry for love and sensation, Markey desperate for success and recognition. As they each follow these ultimately dangerous desires, the pair close in on what really happened that night--and hunt for the elusive girl in the green dress who may hold the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on the real story of the unsolved deaths of Joseph Elwell and New Yorker writer Morris Markey, Mariah Fredericks's new novel is a glittering homage to the dawn of the Jazz Age, as well as a deft and searing portrait of the dark side of fame.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARIAH FREDERICKS was born, raised, and still lives in New York City.
