About the book
Harry Hennesey has left his small town to take his chances in the big city, selling scrap wholesale. One night downtown in a movie theatre, he meets a teenage flapper named Pearl who latches onto him and won't let go. Harry has threatened his marriage before - he may be about to do so with a girl less than half his age. But that's not all, as Harry gets tasked with finding the missing niece of millionaire businessman Charles A. Follette. Set amidst a backdrop of dazzling skyscrapers, glittering parties, speakeasies and moral ambiguity, Schulz evokes a long-gone era.
