"Conway, a college prof and ex-newspaper man, covers this ancient tale in a way that makes it feel like a hot news story."  [New York Post]

“Engrossing . . . Conway skillfully paints a backdrop of fierce and flamboyant personalities who paraded across the Gilded Age, from Brooklyn Bridge engineer John Roebling to Marm Mandelbaum, ‘queen of the criminals.’ . . . [H]e capably recounts his story against a background of glitter and greed.”
