The Golden Door

An elegant historical thriller for fans of FATHERLAND and GANGS OF NEW YORK... New York, 1930. Irish immigrant Will Carthy is working as a riveter on the tallest skyscraper in the world. When his half-sister, Isobel, sails out to join him, Will hurries to meet her at Ellis Island, only to find that she seems to have vanished before passing through immigration control. Little by little, he comes to realize that something deeply sinister is at play in Isobel's mysterious disappearance. THE GOLDEN DOOR captures brilliantly the mood of Prohibition-era New York, when the towers of modern Manhattan were rising as the American Dream came crashing down.
