About this item
A LibraryReads Selection Judge Crater?s wife, Stella, is the picture of propriety. Ritzi, a leggy showgirl, thinks the judge?s bed is the first step out of the chorus line. And thanks to the judge, dutiful maid Maria Simon?s husband is now a detective in the NYPD. Crater himself is indebted to both Tammany Hall and a notorious gangster. As rumors circulate about widespread political corruption, the Honorable Joseph Crater steps into a cab and disappears forever. Or does he? This Peer Pick title was selected by Abbey Stroop, the Reader?s Advisory Library and Fiction, Express and Large Print buyer at Herrick District Library in Holland, Michigan.
