SAVING SIN CITY by Mary Cummings is the story of Evelyn Nesbit, the original Gibson Girl, and Stanford White, perhaps the most famous architect of his time, and a child molester.

He preys on Evelyn Nesbit, but she ends up marrying the sociopathic millionaire Harry Thaw. Thaw eventually kills White in spectacular fashion, and The Crime of the Century is all the city can talk about.

Cummings brings fresh insight and some new information into this story of Gilded Age rot. A thrilling read.
