The year is 1911 when
twenty-year-old heiress Peggy Batternberg is invited to spend the summer in America’s
Playground.
The invitation to Coney Island
is unwelcome. Despite hailing from one of America’s richest families, Peggy
would much rather spend the summer working at the Moonrise Bookstore than
keeping up appearances with New York City socialites and her snobbish, controlling
family.
But soon it transpires that the
hedonism of Coney Island affords Peggy the freedom she has been yearning for,
and it’s not long before she finds herself in love with a troubled pier-side
artist of humble means, whom the Batternberg patriarchs would surely disapprove
of.
Disapprove they may, but hidden
behind their pomposity lurks a web of deceit, betrayal, and deadly secrets. And
as bodies begin to mount up amidst the sweltering clamor of Coney Island, it
seems the powerful Batternbergs can get away with anything… even murder.
Extravagant, intoxicating, and
thumping with suspense, bestselling Nancy Bilyeau’s magnificent Dreamland is a
story of corruption, class, and dangerous obsession.
