Please plan to join us on Monday, July 13, at 7 p.m. for a very special online program by Karen Abbott, author of The Ghosts of Eden Park: The Bootleg King, the Women Who Pursued Him, and the Murder That Shocked Jazz-Age America. The New York author will talk about her research for the book (including visits to the DHS and Price Hill Historical Society librar ies).
Most of us in the Queen City, and especially here on the Westside, know the story of George Remus. But while we know the facts about who was murdered and maybe why, it took Karen Abbott to bring the whole story to life. Barnes & Noble reviewer says of the book: “Combining deep historical re- search with novelistic flair, The Ghosts of Eden Park is the unforgettable, stranger-than-fiction story of a rags-to- riches entrepreneur and a long-forgotten heroine, of the excesses and absurdities of the Jazz Age, and of the infinite human capacity to deceive.”
Abbott is the New York Times bestselling author of Sin in the Second City, American Rose, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spay, and, most recently, The Ghosts of Eden Park, named one of the best books of August 2019 by Amazon.
