Rules of Civility

Feature and Contest

Rules of Civility

On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society --- where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.
 
And look out for the author's latest, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW, in bookstores September 6th!
