Gotham Tragic: A Novel

by Kurt Wenzel · 2004

+ Want to read

Brilliantly plotted, "Gotham Tragic" is a pitch-perfect send-up of money and celebrity culture. It's not a black comedy so much as a red, white, and blue one, and the next big step forward for a writer whose gifts are as impressive as the Manhattan skyline.
