Ellen Horan's 31 Bond Street is the perfect summer read. It is subtitled "A Novel of Murder, Innocence, and Power in New York City" and is the fictionalized account of the death of Dr. Harvey Burdell who lived at 31 Bond Street. His live-in house manager, Emma Cunningham, stands trial for the crime. The story provides a fascinating look at New York City, the way the justice system worked, the power of the press, racial conflicts and the status of men and women in 1857.
