By Sarah Churchwell. "Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of The Great Gatsby." The summer of 1922 saw F. Scott Fitzgerald at the height of his fame -- and a "brutal double murder horrified" NYC. The murder in question is the Hall-Mills murder case.
A sturdy Penguin paperback showing average wear -- a sticker ghost on the spine; mild edgewear; some foxing towards the front of the book; a previous owner's stamp inside. But it's clean inside and a fine reading copy.
