The acclaimed author of THE RIVER SORROW delivers a riveting novel set in the roaring twenties - based on the real-life murder trial of George Remus, one of America's wealthiest bootleggers during the Prohibition. October 6, 1927 - On a quiet afternoon in Eden Park, Cincinnati, Imogene, a beautiful society lady, is shot and killed by her husband, the notorious bootlegger George Remus. After spending a quiet moment over the body, Remus returns to his car and directs his driver to the police station, where he turns himself in. Shocked and fascinated by this horrible murder, the country gears up for a sensational trial pitting the man known as 'the king of the bootleggers' against Chief Prosecutor Charlie Taft, the youngest son of the former president. The trial reveals what happened to Remus's $80 million fortune, which disappeared while he was imprisoned on a minor charge; how his wife, the blue-blooded beauty once known as the Jazz Bird, struggled to free him; and how the federal agent who pursued Remus became desperately entangled with the Jazz Bird, embroiling himself and Remus in a complicated love triangle with deadly results. THE JAZZ BIRD is an exquisitely written novel of love and betrayal, of money and power, set in a time of glitz, jazz, and innocence.
