Murder on Gramercy Park

Gaslight Mystery

Overview

A quiet winter morning on the gated Gramercy Park is shattered when a resident is found dead behind locked doors. As the city’s new electric lights flicker against gas lamps, suspicion circles among the park’s privileged households and their servants. The investigation peels back layers of respectability, revealing secret debts, forged wills, and a trail that leads from brownstone parlors to the East River docks.
