Saving Sin City: William Travers Jerome, Stanford White, and the Original Crime of the Century

Thaw was the debauched and slightly deranged heir to a Pittsburgh fortune. White was an artistic genius and one of the world's premier architects--and nearly as wealthy as Thaw. They both became obsessed with a sixteen-year-old chorus girl, Evelyn Nesbit, and their jealousies would explode in White's shocking murder--and the even more shocking acquittal of Thaw for a crime that was committed in front of dozens of eye witnesses.Filled with mesmerizing drama, rich period details, and fascinating characters, Saving Sin City sheds fresh light on a crime whose impact still echoes throughout the 21st century.
