“…one of the strangest celebrity disappearing acts in modern history. Absolutely riveting.”
“I loved this book as mesmerizing, you-can’t-make-this-up history about political leaders, inventors, and robber barons in the run-up to World War One; but I also devoured it as one of the strangest celebrity disappearing acts in modern history. Absolutely riveting.” –Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant and The Lioness

An important addition to 20th century history”. –Dan Abrams, ABC News Chief Legal Analyst and bestselling author of Alabama v. King
