Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America's Soul (Signed First Edition!) ($25.95).
Random House

Sin in the Second City tells the tale of the Everleigh Club brothel that operated from 1900 to 1911 on Chicago 's Near South Side. The madams, Ada and Minna Everleigh, were sisters whose shifting identities had them as traveling actors, Edgar Allan Poe's relatives, Kentucky debutantes fleeing violent husbands and daughters of a once-wealthy Virginia lawyer crushed by the Civil War. Provocative, entertaining, and thoroughly researched, Sin in the Second City is the story of two remarkable women and the life they built for themselves in one of America's most vibrant cities.
