Description
xAward-Winning Finalist in the "True Crime: Non-Fiction" category of the 2017 International Book Awards.
Politics in Philadelphia is a rough game...But, when political murder takes place in the Fifth Ward (home to the Liberty Bell) on primary Election Day in 1917, it sparks outrage-not just in Philadelphia, but throughout the nation.
Police Lieutenant David Bennett becomes embroiled in a political scandal with Mayor Smith, and others, leading to a sensational trial in the "City of Brotherly Love" that competes for headlines across the country with WWI.
It's all here-Love, friendship, greed, betrayal, and murder! Who imported New York's "Frog Hollow Gang?" Who murdered a special detective on primary day?
Who is really in charge in "The Bloody Fifth?"

xAn insatiable interest in her forebears led L.C.Bennett Stern to the discovery of a locally notorious ancestor-a grandfather never known to the author-the subject of this book. She is currently working on the 2nd book of an historical fiction, The Mari Mort Theater Trilogy. Linda happily shares life in southern New Jersey with her husband, a fellow writer. As she puts it: "Life at our house is very, very quiet - except for the occasional annoying bark of our Wheaten Terrier, Katie Scarlett, and the hum of two very busy computers." www.lcbennettstern.com
