With the dawn of the twentieth century on the horizon, the
fortunes of the venerable Vanderbilt family still shine brightly in the
glittering high society of Newport, Rhode Island. But when a potential scandal
strikes, the Vanderbilts turn to cousin and society page reporter Emma Cross to
solve a murder and a disappearance. . .Responding to a frantic call on her
newfangled telephone from her eighteen-year-old cousin, Consuelo Vanderbilt,
Emma Cross arrives at the Marble House mansion and learns the cause of her
distress--Consuelo's mother, Alva, is forcing her into marriage with the Duke
of Marlborough. Her mother has even called in a fortune teller to assure
Consuelo of a happy future.
But the future is short-lived for the fortune teller, who is found dead by her
crystal ball, strangled with a silk scarf. Standing above her is one of the
Vanderbilts' maids, who is promptly taken into police custody. After the frenzy
has died down, Consuelo is nowhere to be found. At Alva's request, Emma must
employ her sleuthing skills to determine if the vanishing Vanderbilt has eloped
with the beau of her choice--or if her disappearance may be directly connected
to the murder. . .
