A Front Page Affair

the long version

New York City, 1915. Intelligent, well-traveled, and well-bred, Capability "Kitty" Weeks never expected to find herself reporting on fashion trends and society gossip, but every aspiring journalist has to start somewhere, and Kitty finds her "in" to the world of newspapers on the New York Sentinel Ladies' Page. Meanwhile, news headlines buzz about a shooting at J.P. Morgan's mansion and the sinking of the Lusitania. It seems that Kitty will never have a chance to get the scoop on a big story -- until a man is murdered at a high society picnic on her beat. Determined to prove herself as a journalist and break away from the Ladies' Page once and for all, Kitty digs deeper into the circumstances behind the murder. She soon finds herself plunged into the midst of a wartime conspiracy that threatens to derail the United States's attempt to remain neutral -- and to disrupt the privileged life she has always known. - Back cover.
