520 "Vivian Gordon went out before midnight in a velvet dress
and mink coat. Her body turned up the next morning in a
desolate Bronx park, a dirty clothesline wrapped around
her neck. At her stylish Manhattan apartment, detectives
discovered notebooks full of names--businessmen,
socialites, gangsters. And something else: a letter from
an anti-corruption commission established by Governor
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Led by the imperious Judge
Samuel Seabury, the commission had uncovered a police
conspiracy to frame women as prostitutes. Had Vivian
Gordon been executed to bury her secrets? As FDR pressed
the police to solve her murder, Judge Seabury pursued the
trail of corruption to the top of Gotham's powerful
political machine--the infamous Tammany Hall"--
