October 6, 1927. Imogene Remus, a beautiful society lady known as the Jazz Bird, is shot dead in Eden Park, Cincinnati. The killer is the notorious bootlegger, George Remus - her husband.
Shocked and fascinated by this horrible murder, America gears up for a sensational trial. "The king of the bootleggers" against Chief Prosecutor Charlie Taft, the youngest son of the former president. But the trial raises more questions than answers.
What happened to Remus' $80 million fortune, which disappeared while he was imprisoned on a minor charge? Was Imogene's estrangement from her husband genuine or part of a Byzantine plot to free him? And what of Frank Dodge, the federal agent who pursued Remus with such zeal, only to become desperately entangled with his wife?
The facts are clear, but what is the truth? Was the Jazz Bird the orchestrator of this complicated love triangle or an innocent victim of a cold-blooded killing?
Set amidst the jazz, glamour and innocence of Prohibition America, 'The Jazz Bird' is an exquisitely written novel of love, betrayal and courtroom intrigue.
