Description

"Vivid and bloody and bold and fast I feel like"Razorhurst"is in my bones now." #1"New York Times"bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert The notoriously bloody history of a mob-run Sydney, Australia neighborhood is fertile ground for this historical thriller with a paranormal twist: two girls' ability to see the many ghosts haunting Razorhurst. Sydney s deadly Razorhurst neighborhood, 1932. Gloriana Nelson and Mr. Davidson, two ruthless mob bosses, have reached a fragile peace one maintained by razor men. Kelpie, orphaned and homeless, is blessed (and cursed) with the ability to see Razorhurst s many ghosts. They tell her secrets the living can t know about the cracks already forming in the mobs truce. Then Kelpie meets Dymphna Campbell, a legendary beauty and prized moll of Gloriana Nelson. She s earned the nickname Angel of Death because none of her beaus has ever survived knowing her. Unbeknownst to Kelpie, Dymphna can see ghosts, too, and she knows that Gloriana s hold is crumbling one henchman at a time. As loyalties shift and betrayal threatens the two girls at every turn, Dymphna is determined not only to survive, but to rise to the top with Kelpie at her side. "From the Hardcover edition.""
