About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The East Side neighborhood of Beekman Place, just north of the United Nations, has not always been home to the rich. It was originally a stretch of stolid middle-class row houses, but it was redeveloped in the 1920s when it became a popular destination for wealthy artists, writers, and theatrical celebrities.
#2 The area around Beekman Place was a mix of luxury towers and grimy tenements in the early 1930s. In 1935, the socially conscious crime drama Dead End opened on Broadway, and its setting was inspired by the area.

The Gebhardt murder was a perfect example of a love killing. Vera had gone to work for her lover, Fritz Gebhardt, at his import firm, Frank von Knoop Co. She had planned not only the murder of her lover, but also her own suicide.
#4
The tabloids had a field day with the story of the demure Skyscraper Slayer and her philandering Nazi Loverboy. Vera had known about Gebhardt’s wife all along, and new theories about her motives emerged.
