あらすじ・解説
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 12 novels Bly wrote between 1889 and 1895, 11 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!
Bly's second novel was written in the weeks before her famous race around the world! Inspired by Bly's electric interview with convicted criminal Eva Hamilton (wife to the great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton), Eva the Adventuress is a blockbuster of the fury of a woman scorned.
Born into poverty, beautiful Eva Scarlett rescues a handsome stranger from a mob, trusting him to marry her. She soon discovers he has tricked her, their marriage is a lie! Alone in New York, a “fallen woman”, Eva sets off down a path of vengence on all those who have wronged her. Her quest is derailed by the genuine love of a scion of a famous family. Yet, the past cannot let her go, and Eva discovers that in the battle between love and revenge, only one can triumph.
Bonus: This volume includes original articles from the real-life Eva Hamilton scandal as it unfolded across the years. Her conviction for attempted murder was only the beginning of a bizarre and lurid tale of purchased babies, scheming lovers, a mysterious drowning, a fortune at stake, and a turn upon the stage!
When Bly penned this novel in 1889, her invented ending could not predict the strange twists of fate life had in store for the real—Eva the Adventuress!
