Nellie Bly
In the late 19th century, infamous investigative reporter Nellie Bly revealed the abuse of female factory workers, exposed brutality in an insane asylum, and became the first woman reporter to circumnavigate the globe.
The Mystery of Central Park: A Novel is Bly's first venture into fiction. In it, handsome Richard Treadwell lives off a comfortable inheritance yet can't talk Penelope Howard, his beloved heiress, into tying the knot. One day in Central Park, they come upon the form of a lovely, beautifully dressed, and dead young woman. To win her hand, Penelope says Richard must find the victim's murderer. This charming and engrossing mystery reveals sharp contrasts between the lives of New York's rich and poor. Filled with courageous working women, abusive factory foremen, multi-ethnic gentlemen of the city's slums, and wealthy male sexual predators, the novel treats us to the 19th-century realities of Bly's wide experience.
