520    It is two years before the Civil War, and Congressman 
       Daniel Sickles and his lovely wife Teresa are popular 
       fixtures in Washington, D.C. society. Because Congressman 
       Sickles is frequently out of town, he trusts his friend, 
       U.S. Attorney Philip Barton Key--son of Francis Scott Key-
       -to escort the beautiful Mrs. Sickles to parties in his 
       absence. Then one day an anonymous note sets into motion a
       tragic course of events that culminates in a shocking 
       murder in broad daylight in Lafayette Square. This is the 
       riveting true story of the murder and trial that sparked a
       national debate on madness, male honor, female virtue, 
       fidelity, and the rule of law. DeRose uses diary entries, 
       letters, newspaper accounts, and eyewitness testimonies to
       bring the characters to thrilling life in this antebellum 
       true crime history.
