Description

Available for the first time in 125 years, the Lost Novels Of Nellie Bly!

Pioneering undercover journalist Nellie Bly is rightly famous for exposing society's ills. From brutal insane asylums to corrupt politicians, she used the pages of the New York World to bring down all manner of frauds, cheats, and charlatans.

What no one knows is that Nellie Bly was also a novelist. Because, of the twelve novels Bly wrote between 1889 and 1895, eleven have been lost - until now!

Newly discovered by author David Blixt (What Girls Are Good For, The Master Of Verona), Nellie Bly's lost works of fiction are available for the first time! These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly!

Nellie Bly's first novel, in a newly revised edition! A rejected marriage proposal and the corpse of a dead beauty confound Dick Treadwell's hopes for happiness, until his beloved Penelope sets him a task: she will marry him if he solves -- The Mystery of Central Park!

Dick and his sweetheart Penelope discover the body of a beautiful young woman posed upon a Central Park bench. Instantly Dick is suspected of having something to do with the young woman's death. Moreover, Penelope has long been urging the ne'er-do-well Dick to accomplish something with his life. So he sets out to discover the dead woman's identity and solve the riddle of her death. Was it innocent? Suicide? Or was it murder?

From the twinkling lights of New York's high society to dens of iniquity, Dick follows every trail until he uncovers a tenuous lead. Saving another young woman from the jaws of death, he puts his happiness in jeopardy to confront the scoundrel responsible for the dead woman's fate.

Inspired by Bly's own reporting during her time at the New York World, as she tracked down real-life scoundrels in both business and society, this edition combines both published versions of -- The Mystery Of Central Park!

This new edition combines both versions of Bly's first novel into one new text! Bonus: includes Bly's articles that inspired the story, including The Infamy Of The Park!
