Book Description
An astonishing discovery! 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 exposed all manner of frauds and charlatans. She was also a skilled interviewer and reporter. What no one has known was that she was also a novelist. This is 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 now available for the first time! Complete with the original artwork! These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly! Luckie Thurlow, exotic beauty and daughter of a gypsy queen, enters high society thanks to her school-friend, rich and tender-hearted Elise Kendall. Invited for a weekend stay, little Luckie instantly wins over Elise’s friends with her beauty and kindness. One man in particular is smitten with her—Lloyd Stockton, the reserved heir to a grand fortune. But Luckie only has eyes for his cousin, flirtatious ne’er-do-well Harry Portland. Luckie’s mother, however, has her own plans for Luckie’s future. As part of an elaborate scheme to avenge the broken heart of her dead sister, the Gypsy Queen plans for Luckie to wed Stockton—even in spite of Luckie’s own heart! But the queen is not the only one plotting Luckie’s future for her. An old lover, promised Luckie's hand in youth, has come to claim his prize. If he cannot win her, he will make certain no one else will ever have her! And the beautiful Dory Lee sees only a rival in Luckie, and plots with Luckie's foes to remove her forever from the life of Lloyd Stockton. In a tale of murder and suspense, with dramatic reversals and stunning twists, all the lovers bet their lives as they begin . . .Playing For Hearts! Bonus feature: This volume includes Bly's New York World articles that inspired her novels!
